Sometimes
I feel so lost
Hopeless, sad
Things I want today
Things I love
Are so far away
Things, pretty things
Once made me happy
Are now tarnished
A band of gold
Pawned and sold
Inside the clutter
For without your love
There is no water
And these seeds
Planted and tilled
Die in the dust
Things needed to survive
This late in life
Are killing me slowly
For without you I die
I struggle against straps
I gnaw and I cry
And stare at the sky
I cannot see you
Such dim light
This dark of despair
For it's you I breathe
My future found
At the movies end
As I close my eyes
