Moonlight Darkness

Cold and empty is the road I travel on.
Not a ray of the moon's light to direct my lost soul.

I look around only to find loneliness, sadness and sweet melancholy, as I walk an empty road.

"Where is the light?"
"Where should I go?"

I ask for an answer, yet receive silence, louder than any cry.
I want it to end.

"Someone guide me!"
"Someone save me!"

Alone in the cold I yell, as I continue walking on my endless dark road.

I wonder, was I just living not to die?
All i have ever recalled seeing was the darkness.
My eternal friend and foe.

Only dreaming of catching a glimpse of the moon's radiant light.
I'm trapped in this dark prison, constantly looking back on my journey.

"Curse this destiny so cruel!"
"Will this pain end anytime soon?"

I believe my hope faded long ago, as my dreams never came true.

"Why do I live?"
"Why do I keep moving forward?"

Many times I've wondered.
Now I can't take it anymore.

"That's enough."
"I give up!"

I'm tired.
I can't go on any further.
I stop walking, and just give up.

The darkness creeps closer, looking forward to consuming me.
I start to lose myself.

"Is it finally time to rest?"  
"Is this what's best?"

Almost fully engulfed, I wonder what happens next.

My body is gone.
I'm about to fade away.

"Maybe this really is my final day."

As I slip away, I see an approaching light.

"What could it be?"

One moment I'm sinking into the emptiness.
The next, I'm ascending towards a warm glow.

A small ray of light, the most beautiful I'd ever seen,
shines through the darkness that had engulfed me.

With it, comes a vision of that Moon, I have been chasing for oh so long.
"Oh, what a majestic sight."

-The one thing I had always been searching for...
-That dream, that kept me going during my darkest moments...

It had always seemed like the insignificant fantasy of an empty, lone wanderer.
But, yet why was I was seeing it now, of all times?

My mind came up with a insane explanation -

What if it were a message?

As if it was telling me: 

"You still have a reason to live!"

Whether that was the truth or just another cruel lie, it didn't matter any longer.
I now felt as though, I couldn't let go just yet.

I recalled why I had always continued down the empty, dark road.
It was the road that lead towards the dream of a fool, such as myself.

Even in that darkness, I found some hope.
I had to see my journey through.

After those thought's silence befell once more...

I closed my eyes, removing myself from sadness and regret, for the time being.
As I reopen them, I couldn't help but wonder if it wasn't all me ,yet again, just dreaming.
I found myself once more, alone, on my seemingly endless dark road.

I take a look ahead, only to see a small ray of light, pierce the endless dark horizon, far, far away.

I once again walk on.

For now, I will continue to tread the path that's been laid before me.

My dream remains in mind.

I now know I will find the moon at the end of this path.
