One Soul to Mend

Shadows... Lost in the light. Held down too long... Unable to fight. Walking alone, Some dark forgotten way. Each step takes him further... To the one that got away. Blinding... Unable to leave the past. Each thought a memory, Of smiles that would not last... Each fear, Seems to hold on tight. The path split... Each way leads to the night. Knowledge, Of what has been done... A plague of clouds, Over an ever-dimming sun. Storms gather, Rain falling down A heart can break, Without the faintest sound... Lightning... Arcs across the sky. Lighting the way, Shining light on the lie. Tripping, stumbling.. He climbs the small hill. Raising his voice, Shouting how he feels... "I believed in you! Gave you my soul! Now I stand here alone, Time making me old... I've traveled far, Just to be by your side! Now I stand in the storm's light... And in shadows, you hide?" The storm rages, Hail falling all around... Body to weak, His knees hit the ground. "Where are you, my love?" The whisper leaves his lips, Laughter echoes in the woods... As his soul rips.
