calling out

my life is lost
washed out to sea
all that's left
is the broken pieces of me

they shattered all over
the nearby fields
not enough to fix me up
or to hide the pain i feel

all i need is a little light
to brighten this dark,sad day
a little light to guide me
through this life gone so astray

or a friend to share this burden
and lift this heavy load
to let me know i have a friend
who will stand there by my side
down this darkened road

i scream out
at the top of my lungs
for a friend to heed my call
but all i get is silence
as i decide to plunge and fall

goodbye, farewell and so long
the light is drawing nearer
i'll leave these broken peices
and move on where things are clearer.
