I wrote this for my friend
Lost
By: Rick Flowers – May 27, 2007

The silence, the loneliness
Like a hammer banging my head
The emptiness, the void
As if I were already dead

The infestations, the disease
Eating away at my soul
The sadness, the longing
No more am I whole

The unhappiness, the longing
Nowhere it seems to turn
Alone and withering
My soul…..it burns

I’m beginning to see now
Things I couldn’t see before
How someone could take their life
So the pain would be no more

Sleeping, the fatigue, the depression
I’ve never been to this place
The fear, the darkness, the unknown
I finally see its face

I wonder where it will take me
I have lots to leave behind
But none of that stuff matters
Only what’s inside my mind

I cry, I scream out
For answers that are not given
Something to help me go on
To help me go on living

This road I’m on is dark
Where it ends I do not know
From where I stand I’m worried
Just where this road may go……
