In the Dark Alley

In the dark alley,

There you'll find me

Alone, broken, shattered,

Searching near and far for thee

Lost like a mild pup,

Confused like a newly hatched bird,

Troubled as I am

Bewitched with such a curse

Tiny thorns scattered far and near

Covering the path to where I must go

Red dots, dripping on the floor

Feeling the agonizing pain once more

Little by little, these scars I have must heal

To find, yet again

The love I have lost, now searching for so long

 In the dark alley,

There you'll find me

Bewildered in the loss of light,

Dreaming of a heavenly site

In the mission of seeking a home

To be once more safe, far from trouble

Away from the world's rubble

To be sleeping soundly again on a ductile foam

My home I have, yet again

I long to stay, before the rain

It may come for a second time

I wish not to waste another dime

Because in the dark alley

There is no refuge that you may seek

Not a bird, nor a tree, not even a pretty little creek
