Lost Soul
I felt it crawling behind my back
like shivers, it may be
turned around with total lack
as if I was truly free
opened my eyes to see darkness all around
loud mumbling filled the place
a place that seemed endless
walking at a steady pace
found myself before what seemed
like an ominous, lost soul
wondering when they'll be seen
and shown the way not to fall
as I reached out offering guidance
realizing it was too late
I still persisted in ignorance
they weren't to blame
struggling to stay out of darkness' grasp
slowly they gave themselves to the dark
lost in the midst of the blackness
all I could do was watch as they sank
louder and louder the voices became
so clear I could hear every breathe they take
that breathe once let out
held the deepest aches
that heavy breathe
that sigh
its depth
is all that they couldn't take
