Stagecoach

As the darkness encroaches

A blackened stagecoach approaches

To take me away

To where, I can’t say

Long days of doom

Followed by nights of gloom

Some days the words don’t appear

Writing paper soaked with tear

Unable to gather my thought

Afraid my mind is fraught

Hating the darkness, the pain

Hanging on ‘til light is here again

Each time I think will be the last

 I should know from the past

Tired, but cannot sleep

Through swollen eyes tears seep

Hoping against hope

I’ll be able to cope

Until these feelings go away

And at last, there is sun in my day

Today, I must confess

Life seems meaningless

As the darkness encroaches

A blackened stagecoach approaches

I beg you to take me away

Anywhere other than where I am today
