Alone in the darkness
Blacker than seemed
From home the farthest
A terrible fiend

Running always
But during the night
Turning sideways
My vision of light

Lonely and abandoned
Meaning sought in all
Never to be mended
After the great fall

Backs turned
Bridges burned
Apparent disapproval
Limitations learned

One more step
To the left or the right
Would be time I met
The infinite night
