Lost In Me

Down this darkened road I proceed,
life slipping far away from me.
Lost in me the time I once knew,
where happiness and good cheer had bloomed.
My insides feel swelled by the pain I feel,
wishing I'd done more to save you from this watery fear.
This pathway gives no light for me,
while guilt consumes broken parts of me.
Continue I stroll wanting to hope,
somehow or some way getting you back
isn't too much to pray.
Hope falls away while you lay in the clouds,
where I can't stay.
This burden wears upon me,
leaving mere memories lost in me.
