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
