Lost at sea.
Lost at sea
Someone looking at me
Someone on the phone
Anyone
might look at me, hear me
and not see
that I've been lost
wandering
for so many years
sometimes in the dark
in a forest with only the sound of birds
or alone on an island with nothing, just palm
trees swaying in the breeze
sunburned
and alone
All I ask
of anyone
Is-will you help me?
Will you take me home?
Will you hold my hand?
help me into the boat?
but no one comes
and I am forever
lost.
