Lost

Hearts still ache over year-old breaks, Tears still fall over near-forgotten pains Tears falling to the bottom of a bottle; drink them all away Wash away the hurts, Frigid water lapping over chipping, fragile stone I’m lost in tides of confusion, bittersweet escape From the thoughts of my heart, and the feelings of my mind, From the wrong indecision, and the mindless instinct To wear my heart on my sleeve, to throw my soul on the ground In front of your feet, The burden of a heavy soul hardly makes a sound As it shatters into pieces, I try to piece it back together, The glass-like shards of my heart slice into my arms Having risen from the ashes, you’ll find me waiting for you there Having forsaken the moon, I wait for a new dawn, hope for a new sun To break through this fog, And to dry up the stinging tears that burn into me like fire To let me thrive once more in its basking glow To banish the shadows and cobwebs of my heart, And to melt all these lonely footprints in the snow Secluded and alone, I search the unknown, the shadow never shrinks In the face of the sun, the dusk never fades, Neither does the doubt, these questions of who I am
