In a Dark and Lonely Place

In a dark and lonely place Where every emotion is overwhelming In a secret and mysterious state Where all is silent and frightening The ghosts of the past continue to haunt The thought of yesterday and beyond Beyond the horizon beckons a pseudo light A fright from the dark as a reminder of life For life’s cruelty and confusion entwine In the trees, through the breeze of the forest Also sullen cold subways and empty city streets The drab concrete of the abandoned underpass Those faceless souls still wander Passing one another with apathy in their minds Concealed thoughts never to share Without a care in this dark and lonely place
