The Forest (Part 2)

And shadows crawl where she once shone.
I search the dark, but it’s hard to see,
The silence wraps itself round me. I reach out, but there's nothing there...
The emptiness fills the cold night air.
The ground beneath me shifts once more,
Each step uncertain, like before. I thought the light would lead me through,
But now I'm lost, and unsure what to do.
The forest whispers in quiet tones,
A place where I must walk alone. I feel her absence deep inside,
A shadow that I cannot hide.
Still, I move, though weak and torn,
The path before me feels uncertain and not worn. The darkness presses...it’s all I know,
And yet I press on, steady and slow.
I search the dark with heart and flame,
Still hoping someday she’ll call my name.
And though the road is rough and wide,
