Lost Her Way

#VocalNPM

Brokenhearted girl has lost her way

she never wanted him to leave

but never asked him to stay

She drowns out the pain with music and gin

She prays for help rather than forgiveness for sin

She's far too distressed to ever repent

She dreams of a blade and smiles at the thought of death

She knows no escape from a world without he

She can't turn back time, it's plain to see

That she should let go, for her sake and his

That he may not suffer from the pity he feels

He wants her to have what she wants, he wants her to heal

But he can't be so selfless as to sacrifice his needs

So that a weaker soul may continue to feed

It's a sad sight to see, two broken for different reasons

We only hope that they will heal with the passing of the seasons

But even then, what's to be made of the broken hearted girl?

Or the man who suffers for a gift he cannot wield

Who wants to give the world but who's heart is not on board

The girl who only wants his love, and for it would plunge a sword

Deep into her chest, just to show her love for he

Oh broken hearted girl, I want to set you free

From the emotional shackles you've been locked in for years

I wish I could make it all just disappear

But alas, I cannot

Just as sadly as he

Three lost souls, none filled with glee

As I slowly watch, and every night I pray

That we may all be set free

he, I, and the girl who lost her way
