Lost for Eternity

by Thomas K. Hunt

Heaven was in yesterday
Yesterday's long gone
Hoping still, to find my way
Is the answer in this song
Here today gone tomorrow
Nothing remains the same
Looking back at all my sorrows
I see no one else to blame
Traveled years on a river of tears
That carried me here today
Standing here before myself
I should have gone the other way
So many paths to choose from
It’s like that from the start
So hard to choose the right one
Too late to follow my heart
Who really knows which way to go
Second chances are hard to find
Though surrounded by so many
I’m still alone within my mind
Clouds of inquiries cast shadows
Questions linger in the air
Heavy rain is sure to follow
Leaving puddles of lonely despair
It’s all up to me
It’s what I do
The change is in my head
Only after I’ve made it
Will I save it
Or search all over again
I think the answer is in a bottle
Floating in the farthest sea
Deep in uncharted waters
Lost for eternity

I don't think for eternity. It feels this way, and maybe for a lifetime, but not forever. I just have this feeling not forever. And, in the meantime, all you can do is make the best of whatever moment you're in. At least that's what I tell myself. Very provacative read, Thomas.
