lost

i'm so lost now
i sit waiting in the same place like i was told to do when i was a kid
"stay put if you get lost, we'll come find you"
where are you?
are you lost too
if so are you doing the same thing that i am doing
if were both doing the same thing then how are we suppose to find each other
"meet me "
i hear someone from afar say
"were the only light shines in this dark empty pit."
i walk toward the light
not knowing if i'm going to trip, fall, or die
i don't even think that i'm not getting an closer to the light
but i won't give up
because i know i'll see him there
waiting to greet me with open arms
and a smile that i can never forget.
i can see the light now!
but there's no one there...
no one to greet me
no one with open arms
not one smile was under that light
just a little girl crying because it was a lie,yet another lie.
now i'm even more lost
should i forget about him and turn back?
i don't think i can do that anymore
because i am lost for good now in a pitch dark heart



(alternate ending- to bad
i don't know the way out of a pitch dark heart.)

I also like the alternative ending. While this poem has some narrative elements, I would really like for you to try at least a short prose narrative.
