Lost

Used to know, maybe not but I thought I understood

Mind it goes, in and out and no longer works too good

Am I alright? How can  I really be so off base and so completely out of whack?

Must be a sight, my senses left word; they took leave and

Me no money, heart and wallet both broke

Can’t blow it off with another numbing toke

Dreams left town, burning desires are covered in frost

Had a plan, knew the way, but now it seems to be lost

Used to believe tomorrow, or maybe even later on tonight

The key would open my lock, smiling as I turned up the light

But it never was opened, no one kisses me softly goodnight

 Me no money, heart and wallet both broke

Can’t blow it off with another numbing toke

Dreams left town, burning desires are covered in frost

Had a plan, knew the way, but now it seems to be lost

Stores depleted, counting the days till everything is gone

Feeling defeated ,eyes shut  I cringe at another lonely dawn

She is air, she is warmth and cooling at the very same time

I touch her hair, my worst pain one touch from her I feel

Me no money, heart and wallet both broke

Can’t blow it off with another numbing toke

Dreams left town, burning desires are covered in frost

Had a plan, knew the way, but now it seems to be lost

Kiss my nose, look in my eyes say babe relax it’s alright

My sweet Rose, come and heal me, rescue me tonight

Captivate, redirect my foolish mind babe set me straight

Rejuvenate , damn this drudgery pick me from ashes, elevate

Find me, don’t let me stay lost

Babe, guide me to your arms, don’t let me stay lost
