Twilight drifts into blackest night,
as screams bounce off canyon walls.
Chilling cold and blustery winds
echo what my lonely heart calls.

Hidden in a shadowy glade,
shivering from the cold.
I sit and wonder where I am
and long for nature's fold.

Fear has taken me away,
to a place I'd rather not be.
Tears and chaos add dischord
to my life's disharmony.

A glimpse into the future
brings terror to my mind.
This force of nature confines me,
to a place no one can find.

I'm searching for a hero,
to free me from my pain.
To light the fire in my heart
and warm me up again.
