Lost

Lost within the boundaries of mind
Crashing waves against thoughts
Lightning between the cracks
And rain over broken dreams.

Like a shattered piece of glass
My soul is adrift in worlds
You will never know
I am forever lost and never found.

Straining to see the light in the darkness
Candlelight flickers and dies
Like the depressed soul of the lonely
Which retreats and perishes.

The feeling is all too familiar
I've felt it once before
The last lifetime I ever lived
Before I was lost.
