Lost To the Storm

Drop me into the sea of dark.
Where my journey has no certain end.
Out of the atmosphere.
Of what I know was your hands.
You don’t need to cry about it.
I’ve seen this before.
I’ll walk this storm drain now and forevermore.
We’ll see about that!
Don’t give in,don’t give search.
Time will soon show the way.
It will tell if I’m well or if I’m sure to decay.
Please don’t cry,don’t feel bad.
We all rise.
We all fall.
Like babies in trees.
We come down cradle and all!
Lost me to the wrath of the storm.
You might not have me anymore.
Please I’m telling you.
Find a new me so you can move on.
Go!
I know that one won’t be the same.
And maybe you are who is to blame.
But forgiveness has not gone away.
Instead,its taken me.
Water,dark all around.
Please don’t follow.
Not a voice or a sound.
It’s so hollow.
Where were we heading off to up there?
One day I’ll slip your mind.
Your form of closure.
That’s a good thing.
There’s too much exposure to the poisons that would flood your mind.
Down here!
Watch me slip through the hole in the ground.
Where I’m lost and the unknown is found.
Where am I going?
Only the run off will answer.
No!
You know you didn’t lose me in vain.
There’s always sunshine after the rain.
I’m what it consumes.
Don’t stay deep in the gloom.
You’re trying so hard to wish me back.
I’m probably far,but I can’t be exact.
I won’t forget you.
I have no regrets too.
Figure things out in the end.
There’s no need to pretend.
You’ll never get lost!
Lost me to the tears of the storm.
Lightning crashing.
Thunder its roar.
And I’m what it consumed.
I can’t promise I’ll come back soon!
It makes you feel so empty and cold.
Just remember,you must stay bold.
You don’t know that nothing leaves.
Yet nothing ever stays.
My fate will hide away!
Out of sight,out of mind.
That’s all that’s left to guide you.
Looking back,you will find mistakes are far behind you.
Out of sight,out of mind.
What you lose in the past,do not resent.
Far ahead you will find.
There are gifts buried in the present.
