Feeling Hopeless
By: confizledcarmel101

Every time I go by,
My heart starts to break,
Seeing you stand there,
By a dried up lake.

I feel like the lake,
Hopes withered away.
Hopeless and dreamless,
The tears drops fall day by day.

I hear you tortured cry,
Locked up in my head.
Your buckskin coat,
Stays with me as I go to bed.

I only wish
I could make things right,
Fall asleep,
After holding you tight

It all seems a dream,
A hopeless thought,
A crazy image
Can’t stop thinking of the pain he’s brought

The owner,
He’s a get-it-done-quick-guy
If only he knew,
Every night I cry.

You’re sunny,
A Buckskin,
A tortured plea,
I’m felling hopeless
Inside of me
