Deeply I am lost

I feel my navigation
has spun outta control
I was content knowing
my destination
I felt secure sailing
through life
Knowing my gps
was in hand
I couldn't get lost
I had someone whom
I could call
so now
I'm lost at sea
I have lost my gps
How will I sail in life
now that
my call is no longer
a minute away
my navigation has
broken
Will , I just drift on land
Will , I sail again
I just don't know

You were the number one my whole life,
You were there when I turned five.
We used to be best friends,
But everything someday ends.

We drifted apart over time,
You became more sour than a lime.
From heaven to war we went,
What was said I hope wasn’t meant.

I still love you and always will,
Even with all the bad you spill.
I stand tall when you talk,
Yet some words still leave me in shock.

I cry when the night comes,
The words hurting me are my mom’s.
Scared to speak to protect you,
Don’t have an opinion, that’s what I do.

Never give up they say,
Give it time for a better day.
She is family don’t cut her out,
But I don’t want to continue on this route.

I can’t fix things when you don’t care,
I suffer because of you’re how is that fair.
I don’t wanna lose my own mom,
Yet your presence won’t leave me calm.

Friends again just in my dreams,
It is exactly how it seems.
I write this to ease my mind,
To help leave hard feelings behind.

Only time will tell,
If we’re ever getting out of this hell.
Hope it is soon or I will quit,
But I will regret every bit.

First he left now so did you,
But he came back as I grew.
You left me because I am sick,
Became very distant pretty quick.

Now you don’t care at all,
All I have is our daily call.
We barely talk when I am home,
All the time I feel alone.

God give me a reason to try again,
I want to stop this deep pain.

Everyone states that the world happens in wonderful ways
Wonderfully unknown ways.
It is this statement that gave me you.

One bored evening lead to
One long friendship.
Unknown lead to a few "Hello's"
And a future of affection.

Two broken hearts by those we loved
Lead to two Best friends.
Unknown lead to a few late night calls
And morning smiles

Three long days lead to
Three equal wants.
Unknown feelings bonded broken hearts
And hope for the future.

Four is yet Unknown but leads to
A future of hopeful Happiness.

I want to be the One who gives you Hope
I want to be the Person you need
I want to be Forever a part of your Future.
No matter what form it is.

Three wants
Two best friends
One long friendship
At the sound of "Go."

The girl I used to be
Could never live without
The boy I thought you were

But now the woman I am
Can live without
The man I know you have become

your heartbeat echoes in my ear as your chest is pressed to my face
warmth radiates between us as if we have all the time in the world to waste
i would trade a lifetime for another second in your embrace

How destructive is your love?
I'm a snowflake in your desert sun

compulsive liar
like a faucet with water
on and off
oops
a lifetime later
didn't mean to leave on the water

kept on a leash
release
and you run right back to me
why do i need it
when there is
trust
and above that
lust
that keeps you coming back

Argue argue argue
But do you ever win?
I see you so different
Than who you think you are
But I know I have you figured out
And when I told you how
Your jaw hit the floor and your eyes got wide
A child
A deer in headlights
Bewildered
That someone has let themself inside
Your mind
And knows
Exactly what your next thought is
When you try and win
Think again
And I'll be there in your head
