Into

Time has passed, the years have stilled

Cold and blue the skin is chilled

Hopes and dreams are washed away

Can’t sit up, can only lay

*

Look ahead to what may be

Perhaps the mind’s eye still can see

Watch the past through smiles and tears

Face the future and the fears

*

Goodbye my friend, I must go

Into something I don’t know

Captivated by the unknown

Terrified and so alone

*

Would it be better just to stay?

It isn’t my choice anyway

When it’s time I’m sure you’ll know

As I am sure I have to go

*

Love has now come to an end

Death’s a hurt no one can mend

The living left just to bereave

Cause now it is my time to leave

*

Goodbye my friend, I must go

Into something I don’t know

Captivated by the unknown

Terrified and so alone

*

Not sure why I wrote this. The idea kind of popped into my head while I was driving, and I sat down and put a bit into writing. Maybe I’ll add more later. Or maybe not.

*

“Another day inside my world

I’m married to you and this road

A road that never lets me sleep

So there’s no way to escape the demons I am forced to keep.”
