What I Finally Found

You've crawled to my feet
From so many alleys and bars;

I stood there and grinned
Looking up at the sky and stars

And I told myself a story
As you slowly drifted dead,

Then I gave one swift kick
And looked down the road ahead....

When I stepped over your body,
A hazy mist came from below;

At this moment I was sure
The end of the horror was bestowed....

So I kept on walking,
Never again to turn around:

A piece of the mist I nipped
To remind me of what I lost,

And of what I finally found.
