stuck in the darkness

stuck in the darkness

feeling an empty pain 

with no source 

he is a brittle shell of a man

he is

me

nowhere to run

no drink to pour 

no desire to love 

he is 

me

scared to run 

scared to fight 

stuck in his thoughts

he is 

me

but I do not recognize him

I do not know who he is

I do not know who he is not

getting carried in a crosscurrent

he is lost

with nowhere to run

no drink to pour 

no desire to love 

stuck in the darkness

is there a way out?
