Useless Me

Do the dreams of a lost soul prosper Or are they lost forever in the dry wind I lost myself in this despair Pondering the absence of my life's purpose She confounds me She needs me But I am a useless husk Barely human Barely alive Save when she is near I AM a liar I AM a thief I AM nothing Nothing Nights like these I ponder my anonymity I sit impotent in front of a world that frightens me I need and I hope But I do nothing Nothing She loves me still When the dry wind blows what little humanity of me remains Away ... so very far away. I reach for her in dark and frightening wind I find her warm I find her love Does love sustain the weary and broken Will she tire of my useless ways I've lost myself in the pitiful grasp of the unknowing and dying world Can you guide me home? Can you give me love?
