The Flight Attendant
boosted
Reaching
I got lost, on paths
unlit, and never knew times
so dark and lonely;
a heart pierced by memory
and fear, seeking deep shadows.
Ye Gods, I need light,
and a hand to drag me out
from this drowning dark;
have I not been long enough
struggling to find stars, again?
