all at sea.



"And I dreamt
I saw her
A little girl, all alone
The bleak darkness
that surrounded
Her spirit dampened
by shadows of loneliness

She had tears
no one saw
Her heart fractured
in scars; pain
no one knew
Fears
without salvation
Dreams
without anyone else
to share with

The hollow of the room
Empty, today
Tomorrow
And tomorrow after tomorrow

It could have been worse
But there wasn't anyone there
to tell her that..."
