The Street

There he is!
Look now, the beast walks!

The pain they bring
Sadness forever consuming his heart
Walking along the familiar path
On the wrong side of the street
Staggering along
Alone
The snow piling up on his shoulders
Darkness setting in on his path
Stumbling along he keeps going
Though he can not fathom why
He shuffled to the nearest lamp post
And collapsed to the cold ground
Out of breath, out of energy
He simply can’t go on like this
He will wait for
The one
That will pick him up
And carry him to safety
