They've left

You've no one

And all the others are against you

Standing in a line, blocking you from light



And then the other comes

They break through, giving you back the sun

The wall of your past topples

Leaving only the first, the last, and the sun


The first quivers, defenses down

They speak as if they never abandoned you

You smile, laugh, and walk past

They may stay in the dark




But you will reach the light
