One Month Apart

I am floating
lost out at sea
an ocean of emptiness
surrounding me
I feel so lost
out of control
Lord I need help
I feel so alone

I am helpless
I am weak
I am bitter
so I weep
Into your hands
I place my spirit
wounded and tired
of having to bear it
alone and so far
I haven't a clue
how to go on
apart from you

this might've been posted once before, but I don't really care

there is someone watching
there is someone listening
who knows it all

there is someone waiting
there is someone guarding
to catch you when you fall


a shadow in the dark
a shimmer in the light
looking over your shoulder
not seeing, but feeling

a presence unknown
benign, you hope,
malign, you fear,
it's never shown

going no further,
until it's all over,
then you see
you should've been looking forward,
not over your shoulder


there is someone crying
there is someone holding
you when all crashes down

there is someone laughing
there is someone smiling
when you reach your crown
