Drifting

Drifting...

Treading water,
Cold depths,
Aimless currents,
Maddening silence.

Drifting...

In the darkness I feel alone,
The silence creeps into your bones,
I miss your voice,
But only the silence answers.

Drifting...

My soul is longing for something missing,
Lost connections that are a world apart,
We are still friends, right?
Why can't I find you?

Drifting...

Memories of fun times,
Memories of sad times,
Memories of love,
Memories of silence.

Drifting...

I'm drifting without you...
I don't hate you...
I miss you...
Don't you miss me?

Drifting...

It's like grasping at sand,
only to have it sift through your hand,
to reach out for something in hopes of peace,
and to be greeted with.... nothing.

I feel like I'm tossed about,
I meant what I said,
but life drowns us out,
I'm still treading...

Drifting...

Are you drifting too?
Or are you grounded?
Are you looking?
Are you waiting too?

Drifting...

Am I worth anything?
Perhaps I'm not?
Perhaps I'm just a memory,
Vainly struggling to come back.

Drifting...

I feel useless,
worthless,
forgotten,
discarded.

I'm faithful and loyal, does that count for something?
If so, why am I just...

Drifting...

Tired,
Aching,
Battered,
Shivering,

Drifting...

Waiting...
Hoping...
Praying...
Wishing...
Looking...
Missing...

You

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is for all the friends I've lost contact with. Some nights, I wish I had you to talk to again...
I know I'll never be truly alone, but I hate losing contact with friends I love.

This isn't pretty, it just needed to come out. I hope it resonates with other viewers in some way.
Thanks for reading....
