Lost

The hour is still and undisturbed as I glance into the darkness of eternity

The only movement is that of my heart and the trees around me

Stripped of their leaves and true identity

Mirroring the emotions that overwhelm my tranquility

I feel lost, betrayed, misunderstood

My limbs search for something to touch

My soul yearns for someone to love

I look up at the heavens, waiting desperately for a sign

I need a savior, a guardian, a friend

Someone to hold me close and keep me warm in times of sudden chill

I look down the long narrow path of my life

Haunted by the images flashing by me

Disturbed by the voices that taunt my memory

I want to run away and escape from it all

However, the gray stones are wet and cold beneath my feet

Forcing me to remember the harsh times I have endured

Forcing me to memorize the cruel faces I have encountered

I sigh and hope salvation will be restored

For I no longer want to feel a sense of rejection

For I can no longer tolerate this pain

For no longer will I be

Lost
