Long Lost

My soul has vanished, no longer here
It lost its will, so it has disappeared
Now like a zombie, I walk this world
Empty inside, I float harmlessly

My eyes shy and hurt from the sun rays,
Within the day they’re sore.
When the sun dies
And the moon rise,
They soften once more
In the dark they relax, in room of black
They cry for no reason
In the light, they fail to act with happiness there once was.

My feet are numb and hard,
The ground pricking my feet
I keep walking, with a single shard
Nowhere to go, nowhere to be,
Is this my destiny?
I keep walking, my destination unknown,
My fate sealed, and without shadow of doubt,
I’ll just keep moving, here in and throughout

My mouth is dry and throat sore,
My lips chapped and cracked,
My once-beautiful voice has whisked away, it cannot react.
With a voice like chalk
And Like a raven’s croak, I talk
My whisper a harsh hiss,
My voice has lost its sound,
And no longer will it come back around.

My ears used to hear the shrill songs of birds,
The morning awakenings, the little chirps,
Now it hears nothing, just the wind
Harsh noises and dark sounds travel and probe
Nothing seems to bring my hearing back,
Along with other things do I lack
My eyes no longer have light
My hearing has gone wasted,
There’s no way to get it back.

Inside, something yearns to come out,
My mouth raging, wanting to shout
My feet urge to hasten and run once more
My eyes want to blink, bring back the color.
My ears yearning for a song,

But I cannot.

For my soul has vanished, it’s no longer here
It has lost its will, so it has disappeared
Now like a zombie, I walk this world
Wandering helplessly,
Just a lost little girl.
