Accepting Hope

Wandering in the night
Twilight come and gone
Hearing soiled music
Listening to the song

The verses leave me tearful
The end just leaves me raw
Facing angry darkness
It grabs me in its jaws

Jerking I escape it
But it leaves a frightful rend
Deep into my psyche
Lasting to the end

Limping as I'm running
Striving to escape
I fear I've gone too far
And carry too much hate

But beacons shine before me
And fill me up with hope
The love and understanding
Of friends who help me cope

And wander towards the lovely lights
That help me through this night.
