A lost song

I cannot save you from drowning

Feeling like a foundling

So deeply lost in your trance

When eyes are no longer

Windows to the soul

But stare so emptily

All I can do is cry for you

And I wish

That with my breath

I could summon back to life

The spirit in you

That seems so badly broken

But I also know this shattering is not the end

And how you wrestle with the ghosts in your head is not mine to know

I try to shine a light

In this darkest of night

Or hold up a mirror to the truth of

Something I still feel struggling inside

But finds itself

Oh so lost

As I count the cost

Of a childhood like yours

When so much was stolen

I fought for your access to music then

But when they robbed you of it

Something in you turned to ice

And I do not know what the song inside you is

Only that you have lost the power to sing

And I can only pray

This demon inside you

Will not rob you of everything
