Year after year

I long for your touch,


For you to hold me,



Protect me from the pain;
Yet you disappeared,

Breaking off the bonds of


Everything you once held dear,



Including me;
You left me behind to defend myself

From all of the hatred


That I once learned to deal with



When you were by my side;
Now I mourn alone,

Waiting for your return,


Yet I know deep down inside



That you will never come back;
I chase after you,

Determined to rescue you


From yourself



And from the darkness;
As the darkness swallows you whole,

I call out your name


In hope that you are not too far gone



To hear me;
For far too long

You have been out of reach,


Slipping through my fingertips



Every time I try to save you;
No matter what though,

I will be with you,


So I will follow you



Into the dark.
