I’m wondering and I’m sitting
In this uncomfortable desk
Seeing the torrents of rain
Wash out every thought.
And a feeling of emptiness
Roars up to consume my soul
When I see all of the happiness
Overpowering the hallways.
Smiles hold unbroken promises
With my shattered heart beating
My spirit is continually drowned
By the stubborn unwillingness.
The tears slowly begin to swell
With the rising disappointment
I am unaware of my future
Lost in depths of expectations.
And suddenly I am sobbing
Into an ocean of the unknown
Now I’m the only captain
Of this fragile sailing vessel.
The strong wind is stinging
Pulling me into the depths
And the raging seven seas
Are burning into my heart.
It is difficult for me to navigate
My thoughts and my words
Through the unending sea
Of all the crashing saltwater.

How do I stand a chance
Against such a beautiful girl?
I do not know anything of her
Just the stories you have told me
And the way you say her name
Shows me her importance.
Your eyes shine with her image
Every word brings another picture
Of such wonderful perfection
And I can see her here with us
A fountain of youth flowing free
Golden hair falling into oblivion
Eyes like blooming meadows
Gracefully reaching out to others.
Brilliant perfection captivates
And you are forever entranced
By everything that she stands for
Every little thing she is made of.
And this leaves me standing here
Alone in the sunless swirling dust
Reaching for the ghosts of you
Catching handfuls of empty air.
