The Forest

Deep within a still dark forest
The pale moonlight shone
Lighting the path for the lost
Giving all hope in vain

There I lie waiting
Knowing that all is lost
All hope long vanished
Stolen by dark trees of the forest

My eyes may never see again
When the thorns were shoved
My ears could hear no more
A roar too loud I heard

The danger I felt no more
I welcomed the dark forest to rip me apart

The thudding within me
Weeping tears of blood
Caused by knives and daggers
Never to heal itself again

A light began to glimmer
Getting brighter slowly
My hour had come at last
I fled the darkness for light
