The darkened sky above
The starry lights contained
Fits like a glove
Found before it rained
Then truly was the cold
To kill the inspiration
Flowed in days of old
Lost in desperation
Reaching out to save
What I lost about myself
Before I hit the grave
Want it put upon the shelf
Now I'm only here to say
What's constant in my brain
Dressed in thoughts I lay
May come across as pain
But sound is my mind
In these dwindling days of youth
The path becoming lined
As I search for my truth
