Stranded

In the midst of all this water

In the lake of tears I cried

I sit here on my island

Trying nothing but to hide

From what’s falling down around me

And the ruins left inside

Constantly wishing, hoping, praying

That my pain will finally subside.

–

But as the sky around me darkens

And sun gives way to night

All I see is shadows crawling

Into spaces that had light

Before I came here to this island

Before I gave up on the fight

–

So now I sit here on my Isle of Tears

Alone and broken down

And all that there is left to do….

Is accept that I am stranded.
