All is not lost

The sunlight stains my skin

Leaving traces of the days mistakes

Broken down

Lost and forgotten in my head

Your heart a glimmering beacon

In my storm the smell of the sea

The unforgiving waves

Swallowing me whole

My safety net

Being held in your arms

Lifting me back to the surface

Allowing me to catch my breathe

For my fingertips to reach the stars

Looming over head

Breaking skies opening up

Hands of hope extend their kindness

Catching my tears

I’ll stay here

Ride out this mess

Do you really hear the words I speak?

The feelings I portray

That sometimes I just need a friend

I call out names

Muffled, with despair

I close the door

Shutting myself in this darkness

Your light flickers in my window

Reminding me there’s a place

As long you are around

To reel me back to reality

That things may seem lost

With a new perspective

They can be found
