In my head, I’m done…

Moved from living reality

But reality is stuck in two

And I silently scream

In a heap - can’t describe

Lost on a sea never been sailed

And I’m sad - so sad

drowning in a sorrow so deep

Where do I turn?

In my head, I want you here

But I’m swirling

In this churning hole

Despair is rising

The grief that wasn’t spent

Is chipping

Tapping my shoulder saying

“Hey, I don’t think you know me

but I’ve been here all the time

and I’ve been waiting…

You’ll get to know me well, so well”

And he went -

Only behind a thin veil

But he’ll return again

And again

I want you - only you…

You made me feel so alive

But you’re not here

You’re far… so far

And I’m slipping away

Lost on an empty sea with nowhere to go

I’m drifting, only one way…

I’m done
