Lost at sea

I gave you my days my nights my soul

Poured every piece to make us whole

But I’m just a shadow where your light won’t go

I loved you selflessly but it wasn’t enough

Your silence cuts deeper than the roughest bluff

I’m with you yet alone so what’s the use

Love remains but I’m tired of the bruise

Your laughter rings but it’s not for me

A crowded room yet I’m lost at sea

The more I give the less you see

Am I a ghost you don’t even know

Am I the echo that won’t let go

I loved you selflessly but it wasn’t enough

Your silence cuts deeper than the roughest bluff

I’m with you yet alone so what’s the use

Love remains but I’m tired of the bruise

I’m not asking for the stars to bend

Just a hand to hold not pretend

But here I stand on this lonely bend
