A volcano eruptsin the distance.
A creature scurries from the light.
How did you get here?
Why did you come?
You know you're searching.A quest still unknown.
Yet you let yourself be slowly strung along.
As you pass decaying life.
The skeletons of your past,
seem to materialize.
A dead tree here,a long lost friend.
Your fathers torment,the screaming wind.
The snapping twigs,your dead girlfriend.
Yet slowly,you move on.
Reaching out for stobility.
Something scratches by your feet.
A chill runs down your spine.
Like a bad trip,images flashing through your mind.
A gun barrel stuck in their mouth.
You can sense the fear they feel,
the terror in their eyes.
BANG!Splat,a little mind rain.
Startled alert,to a dark lonely place.
Your search goes on.
Wrap yourself tighter,
in what clothes that you wear.
Still you are cold,
your fingers deadly numb.
The crunch of your footsteps,
are your sole companions.
There's something to your right.
You turn your head,nothing there.
Move along and wonder why.
You're on this trip,this quest of mind.
To settle something deep inside.
There's a light in the distance,
a point of hope.
You stagger foreward,
with that goal in sight.
You wonder if your journey is through.
Yet as you get closer,
something strikes you as familiar.
You've been here before.
This place,yes you know.
Standing at the door,
a little girl you've known before.
AS you get closer you quickly realize,
this little girl is no longer alive.
