Lost In Me

by Kevin J   Oct 3, 2004


I'm lost in me
I can't be found
Drowned in a pool of self
An echo in my oceans
hidden depths

I'm lost at sea
I scream, no sound
These waters have no ears
But purl with angst
and fear my soul has kept

I made this place
I hid me here
Away from prying eyes
Lone cast-away adrift
a bottled note

Can't stand this face
These eyes seem queer
My skin's a worthless husk
With out what's lost
my cure will stay remote

I swum for miles
I never moved
No fruits of labor gained
An eerie painting
pitting man and sea

I'm passed denial
Submergence soothes
My quest has found it's end
Content floods back
and I stay lost in me
