Desolate Soul

"Desolate Soul"




Sitting in this empty space surrounded by the stars so far above
Thinking of the days passed by with little to no connections
Favored by none connected to the dust that sweeps by in the wind
Considered to be gone without the chance to reform my image


Staring into the night like an owl stares into the darkness of night
Searching for something to allow the smile inside to be seen 
Praying to the heavens to notice my existence along with prayers
Crying behind the eyes of blue begging to be noticed by passer by's


Secure in my emotions to move in the direction of love
Sacrificing even the littlest of habits that turn those away
Forgiving not only my own soul for believing in future romance
Lazily I lay in the grass staring into the darkness of emptiness


As I long to be loved, to be held, just to be alive in someone else's dreams but my own
I think of the consequences of giving up the security of loneliness
The possibilities of never regaining the peace and serenity I feel right now
It'd be so worth the love that could cure this desolate soul
