lost and found

Fleeting is the hope for the soul unfound Hope for the lost, remorse for the fallen. __ _i am drowning in myself _ __ __ __ Once above, now below. Itโ€™s a long way up and I have no rope. _how did I get here?_ Like a physical blow the dread overcomes. Enough to crave the soothing comfort of _nonexistence_ With heavy heart and leaden hand I reach for the light Vacant air weaves through my fingers A forgotten promise _No way home_ __ __ But where do you turn with no where to go? Sight unseeing, self unknowing. What do you seek when salvation evades you? How am I to know? Why am I to care? _i feel so hollow_ __ __ __ This night is long, the cold unrelenting I long to meet the sun Soon I will be undone Wake up Become Euphoria awaits at the break of dawn Try again. Just one more time. Rip off the shackles, let them fall at your feet. A prison of my own making. _it chills to the bone_ Undo the locks, open the door. Warm air overwhelms and I breath it all in. _this is what it means to be found_ __ __ __ __ __ __
