When you're lost and alone
And every bird has flown home
Just look in your heart,  darling.
And the lights will guide you Home.

The lights are those wishes,
Your mother packed with care.
The lights are those kisses.
Your sister blew in the air.

The lights are that stardust
Sprinkled in your cake.
Which your 10 year old brother
Took so much time to bake.

The lights are those silent tears,
Which roll down your father's cheeks
And the light of his grey eyes,
Looking forever, for the son he seeks.

The lights are the love your family and friends sent.
So whenever you're broken or by time, bent.
Remember all the wishes sent and the kisses blown.
Just look in your heart, Darling.
And the lights will guide you home.

The darkness fills my heart inside.
I'm left to burn, char and die.
Why does this sorrow just come to me?
Why do I always pay the fee?
My heart just burns,
The smoke churns
Darkness whispers,
"Come Hither"
And I'm just left to wither.

The shadows hunt,
Like I'm a runt.
Darkness fills a void.
Hell now screams,
Burnt all my dreams
Now I'm burnt and toyed.
Hell now slithers,
Come hither.
And I'm just left to Wither.

That one cold winter night,
Not one person was in sight.
I convinced myself. Everything was gonna be alright.
The wind flew in my hair,
Not one cold stare.
As the sorrow shook my chest bare.

I had said goodbye, to all those I love.
I had tied that letter to the messenger dove.
‘I love you all’ I'd written.
‘This isn't your fault, I had been bitten.
By sorrow and pain and all that hurt.
I'm sorry for being oh so curt.
I love you all, please don't cry.
I have to bade you a final goodbye.
Been strong too long, now finally weak.
Happiness in Death, I now seek.
I love you all, don't ever forget that.
Remember your crazy lil brat.’

Words shatter the silence, what is that I hear?
A wise voice, coming near.
‘Throwing away your life, is that what you wanna do?
If that's your final decision, I'll take it as my cue.
Leave the ledge today and have them sprawled over your dead body.
Or show them your strength, before it becomes ******.
Decide today, its your life, after all.
Destiny is for idiots. YOU make the dominos fall.
Show them your strength. You're stronger than they could ever be.
Its time for them to see’

I let go of the idea,
And everything was soon alright.
I saw every facet of reality,
In that one cold winter night.

— The End —
