""When the Lights Fade""

by Kerri Abney - Aries

When the lights fade
with the sinking sun.
When we realize all is said,
and all is done that can be done.
When we think that there's nothing more to lose,
Forced to stay behind to choose,
Not one single option overlooked, or unused;
When the mirror displays only one left
still standing...you.

When your begging, and screaming
that you've had enough,
When your down on your knees
in the rain, in the mud.
Humbled, pleading, both knees knealing;
lifted arms reaching for the sky.
Begin to doubt your faith, and love, and trust;
open up those blurry eyes.
A shred of hope will never die...
blind lights comfort even I.
