Eternal Darkness

Living in tears and
eternal darkness.
Everything looks so
distant and unreal to me.
My tears seem to
comfort me and
the eternal darkness
wraps around me
like a mother's arms
to her child.
There is a question
at the back of my mind.
A question which has
no answer.
In the darkness,
a faint light awakens life.
In the distance, in
the dim light,
there is the outline
of the path which I
have to take.
This is one path,
chosen for me instead
of chosen by me.
As I start on my way,
the light flickers off,
but I continue along
the dark, unknown path.
The path I am taking
twists and turns, rises
and falls, like a roller coaster.
It's very rocky and
unsafe. Abruptly,
it stops, and there is
no way to retrace my
steps, for they have
worn down to nothing
throughout the years
I have been walking.
I look around me for
the first time,
and I see no one beside me.
This path I was forced
to take alone.
I see my best friend
and run to him,
but he is just an illusion.
All of a sudden,
I am falling with
no one to catch me.
In dreams, you always
wake up before you
hit the bottom,
but this is no dream.
Though it seems unreal,
it is reality.
I sit down and cry my tears.
They fall, seeming as though
they never want to stop.
I wait to be
comforted, though no one
is there.
I wait in silence for
a steady hand to help me
along the way. The more I wait,
the worse the path gets,
though I don't know.
No one came and answered
my cries, so I got up,
brushed myself off,
and started again, along my way.
The road I am walking upon
stopped again, as though
not sure where to go.
I do all I can to get
back on the lighted path,
but it is no use, and
I give up.
My path became unbearable,
I look for my best friend
to comfort me,
but he is not there,
not even as an illusion.
I am...
Living in my tears
and eternal darkness.
