The Lotus Eaters

Why is this happening to me?

Why have I been forsaken?

Nothing numbs the pain any longer

Please, I'm slipping away

We fall into the spaces blind

The puzzle so unkind, the lotus eaters fly

We watch the random pattern form

Insidious and cold and bloom into the unknown

Please, God, why can't

You hear us?

Please, God, why aren't

You listening?

We take the hand of fate in vain, and wonder why

Your willSeems cruel controlled and illogical

Do words fall on deaf ears, are we just too small?

Please make us understand

Please, God, why can't

You hear us?

Please, God, why aren't

You listening?

Please, God, why must we fear

You?Please,

God, why did

You take her away?

Please, God, why can't

You hear us?

Please, God, why aren't

You listening?

Please, God, why must we fear

You?Please,

God, why did

You take her away?

Are we Your children?

Are we lost?
