There she sat
At the edge of forever
Lost in the gloom
Of the shadowy weather
Slumped all alone
In her dismal state
She wondered if anyone
Could possibly relate
Was her solitary life
Always meant to be
If only the answer
She could one day see
Forever seemed too far
As the friendless void imprisoned
No condemnation to pass
This was mostly her decision

Tears welling
Sadness dwelling
Heart crushed
And eyes swelling
This is how
I get through each day
Hoping to find
A better way

It’s easy to feel lost
In a world so grand
With thousands of people
Who cannot understand
We’re just one small speck
In a universe so vast
The memory of our lives
Will someday be left in the past
So be all that you can
In this brief life you’ve been given
And don’t ever forget
To spend each day truly livin
Always remember this
It’s never too late to start anew
And try to give everyone in your life
The very best of you

I feel lost
In a vast sea
One that no longer
Recognizes me
Why must the tide
Ebb and flow
Wish it would stay
But it always goes

I miss the feel
Of liquid love
It’s the only thing
I can still think of
I miss the days
Of never being alone
The feel of a warm touch
Melding with my own
I miss the passion
Found in a kiss
And still wish there was a way
To bottle bliss
I miss the life
That I once knew
When I didn’t have to live
Without a me and you
