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
