The tunnel

The tunnel ahead looks so long
I have been walking through it for miles.
The darkness around is sucking out my heart,
Taking away my joys and smiles.

You will see the light soon,
I have been told by my friend.
But as I walk alone I fear,
If I will ever reach the end.

The Black smothers me,
I gasp for my pure fresh air.
Need to go to the other side soon,
For some love, some warmth and some care.

I am beginning to loose hope,
I feel the despair and chill on the way.
But I have to drag along and reach my destination,
For that’s what will brighten up my day.
