Lost

The hour is still and undisturbed as I glance into the darkness of eternity The only movement is that of my heart and the trees surrounding my soul Stripped of their leaves and true identity Mirroring the emotions that overwhelm my tranquility I feel lost, betrayed, misunderstood My limbs search for something to touch My soul yearns for someone to love I look up at the heavens, waiting desperately for a sign I need a savior, a guardian, a friend Someone to hold me close and keep me warm in times of sudden chill I look down the long narrow path of my life Haunted by the images flashing by me Disturbed by the voices that taunt my memory I want to run away and escape from it all But the harsh gray stones are wet and cold beneath my feet Forcing me to remember the unforgiving times I have endured Forcing me to memorize the cruel faces I have encountered I sigh and hope salvation will be restored For I no longer want to feel a sense of rejection For I can no longer tolerate this pain For no longer will I be Lost
