Lifeboat
I Sit in the darkness
Pondering the shadows
loneliness creeps with every sigh
It’s not the want to die

I’m truly at a crossroads
Wandering through this lifeboat

Praying to keep my spirit afloat
I yearn for my other half
oh how nothing ever lasts
The stars are my only friend
I truly just want this to end
