Lost



The gripping pain of the lost.
Finding it is part of the cost.
A great hero that was to be.
Helping those who could not see.

Trapped under all the great pain.
Unable to escape the terrible game.
Realizing there was no one to help.
Nobody understanding how they felt.

Searching for an unknown peace.
Always giving it away unable to cease.
In the dark a new light begins to shine.
And finally with the Devil do they dine.
