Was it You?

Was it you
Who walked with me?
I was as if in a daze
My stupor was so profound
I had almost lost footing

I could feel
My senses though numb
A wisp of succor
The haze was so thick
I had almost lost direction

Night after night
Dreams chased me
As I chased them by daylight
The race was so exhausting
I had almost missed to live

Was it you
Who tucked that stray strand behind my ear?
As I blinked by the starlit lake
The quiet was so silent
I had almost ceased to breathe

Mile after mile
I walked aimless
The abyss was so dismal
I skirted the shores
I had almost lost what lay within

Was it you
Who walked with me?
I have found myself again
Chasms, darkness, spirits dont intimidate me
It is almost like I am alive again.
