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.
