Moondark

October 20, 2022

I’m trapped here inside
no matter how many times I’ve tried
to escape this empty pit
The dark, the cold, this is it
The past has swallowed me whole
My regrets and misery have taken a toll
So I’m left to wander, always lost
Wondering if my choices were worth the cost
Then I look out and see something new
and my hope shines through
Cos even though this journey is my own
I don’t have to walk it alone

I am walking in the moondark
Always searching for a spark
To help guide me through
Never realizing the truth
That I’m not here on my own
There’s more love here than I could’ve known
If I find someone to walk with me
Maybe then, I’ll start to see
A path forward out of this place
and onward to a safe space

We’re always searching
and forever yearning
for someone to tell us
that we aren’t one big mess
so in the dark we wander
as if there’s some spell we’re under
making us think it’s just us here
never realizing that friends are near
If you look out, you’ll see something new
and then your hope will shine through
Cos even though this journey is your own
you never have to walk it alone

We are walking in the moondark
All searching for a spark
To help guide us through
Only just realizing the truth
That we aren’t walking here alone
When we’re together, I feel at home
So I’ll walk with you, and you walk with me
And together, we’ll start to see
A path forward out of this place
and onward to a safe space

Hand in hand, we’ll embark
and find our way out of the moondark
