Out For Good

I had no idea in that moment

That the light was going out for good

I just knew that it seemed like you

Were missing something that you needed

And I’d try to give you what I could

How was I to know that in that giving

I’d take a step or two too far

And instead of lighting up the night

I’d put a wall between me and you

That I’d never have the strength to cross?

The words don’t seem to matter now

The failure is my cross to bear

And somewhere on the other side

I’m sure your light shines bright

But here I’ll never see the sun

I somehow took that from myself

And now I’ll find a way to grow

From the shadows
