Lost My Way



Wondering in the darkness of silence,
I felt the cold of nothingness quiver my soul.
Against the wilderness we called life I was lost!
Blinded by forces unseen but heard my screams for help fell on deaf ears...
But my voice echoed against empty walls...
Empty vessels as I could feel within my self sinking into the void.
Still my destination yearned to be found but I stood still with no direction I was lost!

    The dark themes, the flow through each line, its short but complete, simple and deep. Works super well.
