Lost Without You

I'm standing here at a crossroad
Uncertain where to go
Carrying a real heavy burden
Starting to feel real low

They say if you go North

You'll find the answers you seek
All I found was sorrow and pain
Tears running down my cheek

I could try going East
The only thing my eyes could see
Was a distant reminder of my past
Filled with heartache and misery

So West it was, I immediately went
Well I was ultimately mistaken
Not sure what I should do
For a heart that keeps breakin

Maybe I'll find my answers by going South
Or will I constantly be in despair
It seems I will not find the answers
If it means me going back there

In any direction, there's no healing
In any direction, I'm totally screwed
I suppose I remain here forever
And just feel lost without you!

I've been here a couple of times in the past. It's a terrible place to be. At a time, it was because I lost a best friend to 'death'. Another time, a girl broke my heart. Other times, it was just because I made a series of stupid decisions that left me in the midst of nowhere trying to find my way out of the mess. I pray that everyone who find themselves here will speedily find their way out of the labyrinth. A beautiful poem. Simple and elegant.

Thank you so much for your compliment. Sorry to hear about your recent losses and heartache. No one wants to feel that way ever and I'm glad this poem was able to reach out and connect with someone.
