Traveling out the darkness
of life's past
it's narrow path
fraught the pitfalls
of choices made
clouding a future's horizon
With each new step
upon unsure footing
to transverse forward
nary a look back
Clinging in dim hope
of loves return
for now in realization
lost am I
...........without you
Author notes
Did use the pic and hope the thought in the words too:
You say you'll give me eyes in a world of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we made
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
- All I Want Is You, U2
