Lost Soul
This sadness, I can not shake,
Has become my only friend,
Its voice so melancholy,
Whispering the hurts I can not mend.

I'm lost in this wilderness,
Blinded by the sun,
Knowing only the shadows,
Afraid, I turn and run.

Why is happiness so elusive?
Every relationship, in some way abusive,
Never a fist, to draw blood from this stone,
Or bitter words to water my eyes,

Its the covert blows,
The deceitfulness and lies,
Its the unspoken promises,
All the what ifs and whys?

Its knowing I can't change you,
or leave you behind,
Consumed with self-doubt,
I believe my own lies.
