When I was lost, and the light was gone, When the darkness engulfed and I started to sob… My days just passed, and the nights were long, Full of fears and pain and hurt.
When I started to think it was all my fault, When my beliefs faded and I couldn’t hold, You entered my life, like the light of a guiding star. The star so bright, that shined with the might, Who took away the slightest of plight.
The one who cared and took me to surprise, The one who loved and told me to shred the fright. You dove inside the deepest of my eyes And paved the way to inspiration of my life.
And then the day came when darkness overruled. I fret and dread and tears started to pool. I tossed and turned every stone for the clue. I screamed and cried but There is no you!
Near the horizon the light twinkle again A drop of hope trickled down again I ran and begged to hold me tight Only to realize it’s the mirage of mind.
Then I heard the sound, the sound of you Calling out ‘inside you look’. It’s when I found that it’s the light to dread For the darkness is what that always dwells!
