My world slowly fades to black
All I have known, lost
All the love I shared, gone
All the times I cared, no more
The past slowly becomes
a fading light
A raging chasm of blackness
Memories melt into dreams
and old feelings are wisped away
in the afternoon breeze
The winter is coming
and the sky tightens its grip
The snow ready to blanket the earth
But, just like every year
the spring will come
The warmth of the sun
radiating its light
to thaw the damp earth
The spring will bring new warmth
and...
New hope
The world will once again
fade back to light
