Stranded

         Stranded

The dust from your departure
has not yet settled from my mind
I could not tell you how we got here
Confusion wrenches out my figurative guts
and maybe literal too - I'm afraid to look
I am surrounded by things I cannot explain
I'd give anything to see something familiar
But I have nothing to risk anymore

Not even a sense of direction
You were my compass in this life
I could not tell you how we fell apart
or how pitiful I look, unable to go on
My one true thing which caused the heavenly
lights to smile down on our every move
Still the skies observe my every anguish
But no one navigates by stars anymore

The cloud of dust has settled now
Leaving me with scenery but no destination
nor love nor goal nor sense of purpose
Twenty roads to take and none appealing
I could not tell you what it is I feel
or even that I'll make it through
They don't make a map for this
I just ... I dunno
