She saw what lay ahead.
She saw what stayed with her.
She saw her fate beyond the dark that surrounded her.
If only she had tried, to see the light beyond the dark.
It had always been like this.
She had always wanted to smile.
She had always wanted to laugh.
If only she had tried, to see the light beyond the dark.
She covered herself at night,
inviting sleep but all in vain;
what did come though, were tears in her eyes.
If only, she had tried to see the light beyond the dark.
Her eyes were a shade of brown,
always engulfed by the dark.
Her smile was always full, but you could notice all the scars.
If only, she had tried to see the light beyond the dark.
She spent every waking hour,
trying to figure out what she was and what she will be.
She never knew, in fact, that this was all within her power.
If only, she had tried to see the light beyond the dark

Loneliness engulfed.
Darkness enriched.
The lonely soul became darker, for it found no soldier to guard.
If only, she had tried to see the light beyond the dark
Then one day she tried smiling, for whatever she possessed;
She tried to ignore the things she had lost,
for as bitter as it may sound, they could never come back
If only, she had tried to see the light beyond the dark
She spent every waking hour,
trying to drift away, in a world that awaited her,
but thought she didn’t belong to the light but to the dark.
If only, she had tried to see the light beyond the dark
The life that she was seeing,
was only what she wanted to see.
The life that she wanted was all within her power.
If only, she had tried to see the light beyond the dark
The lonely soul she was
was what she thought she was;
was what she wanted to be.
If only, she had tried to see the light beyond the dark.

She had wasted a lot of years,
searching for the bad in everything.
She had wasted herself - to become what she never wanted to see.
If only, she had tried to see the light beyond the dark
She never knew she would be, as strong as she felt now.
She never knew she could ever, smile from all her heart.
She never knew she could be happy, for she had never tried.
She never knew she could see, the light beyond the dark
She never knew what lay ahead was only what she had wanted to see
She never knew the darkness that rushed in her, was only through her consent.
She never knew the fate she saw, was only how she had wanted it to be.
She never knew she could see, the light beyond the dark.
She cried that night - not because she was hurt,
but because all this while she had been the prey, as well as the predator.
The story goes on; she should have moved on.
She wondered how life could have been, had she had seen the light beyond the dark.
She realized that pain and loss, are part of every life,
of every single being,
of every beating heart.
If only, she had tried, to see the light beyond the dark.
What lay ahead the dark, was a light so bright,
complemented with all her fulfilled hopes,
and the dreams that she had sacrificed.
If only, she had tried to see the light beyond the dark
You see, light could break through even the darkest soul.
You see, life could only be what she would want it to be.
No doubt, she couldn’t control the loss and the gain,
but what she could control was her life and her light.
Her light will be her guard.
Her light will be her warrior.
Her light will shine its way and make her life a swirling star.
Her light will be the victor.
The dark will fall.
Her life will be in her light.
Her light will be her spark.
Her life will be what she would take it to be.
Her life will be what she will make of it.
Her life will be the light that had lain beyond the dark.
