Lost in the storm
She’s tragically lost
in a sea of her own dispair.
Living everyday with a broken heart,
scared of what it would take to repair.
Everyday she searches,
for anything to replace the pain.
she’d give anything to get lost in the clouds,
hoping to drown in the rain.
Afraid to be seen
for who she might really be,
when she looks in the mirror
she doesn’t see what he sees.
She sees herself as someone
not worthy of any love.
With a heart full of pain
that fits just like a glove.
He sees a girl
with a tattered soul,
lying to herself
and it’s taking its toll.
She wishes that he could take away her pain,
be the sunshine through her hurricane,
show her all her beauty
while she dances in the rain.
