Passing in the night and not connecting with someone you love or care about.


                    Forlorn


No one can understand the desolation
No one will feel the cold pain from with in
As two strange ships meet in the early dawn
Reflections of themselves ripple upon the glass
They watch as it appears that each will collide
The thick mist deceives them
Passage is undetermined at this time
In the blink of an owl’s eye the ships pass on
A harsh cold wind chills those on board
The mist thickens as the boats depart
