Lighthouse
my thoughts are broken
emptiness echoes inside
resounding against my soul
unwilling to subside
focusing on this pain
the only thing I feel
left here raw and bleeding
a heart refusing to heal
did I let you down?
not give you what you need?
did I hurt you, sweetest friend?
not live up to your beliefs?
no sunny days will greet me
no stars will light my night
no lunar glow will guide me
all that is now denied
will you leave me adrift
on this sea where all is black
with no beam from the lighthouse
to show me the way back
