Where Next?

Lost with no compass
No means to return
No northern star to guide me
No road sign or map
Now there's no turning back
No footprints behind me
No breadcrumbs to follow
No broken twig
Or worn down path
I'm turning in circles
With both eyes covered
And now I'm left wondering
"Where next?"

Forever You and Me

I cry myself to sleep each night
And dream of days gone quickly by
A touch, a glance
This missed second chance
At true love and romance

That moment has passed and I am
Left wondering what could have been
My misspent youth
The choices we choose
And what I did then lose

One day I hope to turn and see
With outstretched arms you standing there
Your smiling face
My tear stricken haze
In love we do embrace

To call you mine for years I yearn
To wake beside you every morn
We will soon see
Together we'll be
Forever you and me

The Lighthouse

Alone out in the fog
No light to shine the way
No waves crash upon me
This is how I spend my days

I'm lost and forgotten
With no ship to protect
Frigid waters surround me
Empty cold winds caress

The rocky cliffs before me
An end I cannot reach
To sink deep within this ocean
And then wash up on this beach

I am the lowly lighthouse
No keeper to take care
I'm broken, left in darkness
This burden's mine to bear
