A journey towards the dark

I have a journey to make,

a journey by the silent lake,

a journey by an arid park,

a journey towards the dark,

On its way I stopped by some places,

Came across some intresting faces,

Some at the theatre, Some at the bar,

Some by the cemetry, Some by the altar

Some over a field of crop,

Some under a raining rooftop. .

But I know I mustn't hang on to them for long,
The least I can do is bid you a farewell song,

You must know I have some decisions to take,

as I have a journey to make,

As they say,

Its a long route folks,

Through which one will find manier forks,

Here there is no early Sunrise..

and longings are considered not that wise,

you can have no one with you for the ride,

And the moon would just refuse to turn the tides,

I know, I must choose and avoid further lies,

I can love no one but no one I should despise,

I know, I must dust my cloths and part my ways,

I need not leave you in a misty haze,

So You must know,

I have a journey to make,

by that silent lake, by that arid park,

A journey towards that infamous dark!!
