Lost Souls
Darkness surrounds us
An evil emanates from it.
We push at it wih all our might
But it refuses to yield.
It draws closer still
And where it touches us
We are changed
And begin to lose ourselves.
Lies, betrayal, and murder
We hurt so much inside
That it becomes harder
To continue our struggle
How can we hope to find
Our way again when
This evil is so strong
And our trust in each other
Is in ruins.
