Lost

I am frightened of the dark In this unfamiliar space My arms reach out with hope My eyes strain to see your face But you are not here with me As I tread the waters deep We are isolated mourners When we lose the light we seek Calling out to no one To help me find my way Trouble even breathing As I stumble, led astray I can’t go on much longer Signs of hope are looking bleak We are isolated mourners When we lose the light we seek In the corners of my mind I can barely now recall How you promised me you’d be there Should I begin to spin and fall Find forgiveness in the shadows For I see now you were weak We are isolated mourners When we lose the light we seek I call upon my angels Who have saved me yet before I gather all my strength and faith To open unseen doors Disappointment is my lesson With sadness my heart speaks We are isolated mourners When we lose the light we seek
