Blinding Ignorance

I guess I was just to blind to see
that you were always right beside me
but now that you're gone,
I'm not really sure
if all of that was real,
or just a mere game of illusion

you stood with me like a shadow
and I thought you'd never leave
but when darkness came and embraced me,
you were nowhere to be seen

you were always there to guide me -
a blinding light so I won't stray
but I can't seem to understand
why you chose to leave me behind
when night came and held me a prisoner

you don't have to stay if you don't want to
so stop pretending that you care
because in this cold, dark place I am drowning in
I am left to drift alone in my misery

the low beating of drums calls out to me from afar
but I'm too tired to open my eyes
because it's either I find no one out there,
or i'll just fail to see them
