Lost
I am the lost one
Wandering from city to city
Street to street
Like a leaf adrift on the sea of life
Once someone loved me
And gave me a name
Now I have become nobody
I want to say look at me here I am
We don’t have to talk I know you’re busy
Smile nod your head
I need to know I am still alive
Not just a ghost walking briefly through your day
The nights are cold, but the stars keep me company
I tell them my story and they listen
The darkness keeps my secrets
I do not like the sun
It takes the shadows away
Leaving me no place to hide
Too many eyes can see me in daylight
I prefer walking at night
Amid the solitude spun like a web
Under the trees
Once upon a time I wasn’t lost
I had a home clean sheets friends and family
Never understood how I lost myself
Is there anyone looking for me?
