Lost At Sea
Scanning the sea so blue
more green with age.
I've spent more time looking for you
fulfilling my apathetic rage
Than reading the full page.
I've let my love drift to sea
Gave it space to be free
Now left with a single pearl
torn and confused
An adolescent girl
broken and abused
No longer amused
Just let me drift out to sea
Absent of any glee
Scanning an sea so green
or blue dependent on the day
Wash myself in water, I still feel unclean
Can't scrape the sickness away
No warm place to lay
Can never wash you out of my skin
Burnt, imbedded from within
A single pearl left to hold me
So far from land
Abandoned at sea
I really don't understand
why this was never planned
So lost and confused
feeling so abused
I'm in search of something free
this thing I let go
Wishing it would come back to me
Now I'll never know
if it will ever show
I'm lost at sea with a single pearl
That you left me, the abandoned girl
