Tall grass sways In the wind above my head Darkness hangs in the air like smoke threatening to choke me out at any moment I'm completely alone Lost I look around desperately praying for anything I see a light in the distance Hope I sprint through the grass with arms outstretched completely unguarded You met me with open arms Unthinkingly I grabbed your hand and let you lead me We reached a dark dense forest with a narrow path stretching out before us I felt safe I let your light lead me on You kept me safe from the forest Each move so careful so precise You played a perfect game You led me to the heart of the forest I relied on your light like the very air I breathe Then you turned your light off and you let go I could feel your presence leave mine Yet I couldn't see or hear Immobilized I tried to follow you I started walking Then running! Then sprinting after you! Until I tripped Tears began to fall and it was as if they would never stop Now here I sit destroyed by my very protector Broken On July 7th 2011
