Appearing as if missing something was lost in translation,
from what was meant to be at the moment of creation.
Led astray by deception and promises found aplenty,
words spoken from desire discovered later to be empty.

Being without sincerity or trace of empathic sense,
on which to rely when faced with situation intense.
Hesitant when asking for help out of foolish pride,
like a sailor amidst an ocean carried along by tide.

Having no ability to control which direction traveled,
as any hope for finding purpose does come unraveled.
Left to winds of fortune that blow from far away,
though not sure where they will carry each day.

Knowing the path leads to loneliness which invades,
your mind as a reminder of lost love that yet pervades.
Hidden away inside kept safe from people's view,
locked away in memories forever remaining true.

One day to find what's needed for life and happiness,
no longer alone in the world without a home address.
As you see horizons clearly beyond what was before
as if opening and stepping through another door.
