From Shadows into Light

A Thing Sometimes Never Found

In a world gone black.
With no light in sight.
This is a place where only the strong prevail.

This is the land of the lost,
A land of the frail.
A place of those who have hit rock bottom,
But still sink ever deeper.

Here they reach to try and grasp something.
A thing they don't know what it is.
Even still they try to grab it.
Thinking it will pull them out.

Only some manage to grasp it.
While some start to give up,
And continue to sink ever deeper into the dark.

As they go down further into the depths,
it slowly becomes ever colder.
As they sink into the cold, dark depths,
they growingly become numb to everything.

And to never realize what it was they tried to grasp.
The thing that they seeked.
For it was something all have longed for,
But have always been given.
A thing that to some feels so natural,
And take for granted.

For it is the warmth of another.
From a person who cares.
From a person that loves.
The warmth of the one that makes them feel safe.
This was the thing that as they sunk deeper into the dark,
That they would try to reach out to
And grasp.

So it could take them out.
Out of the cold and dark world.
The world they found themselves to be sinking in.
