You Were Lost

The rain was pounding, and you were lost

My breath puffed out in a shaky frost

Stumbling down the wet street in the dark

I took off running, heading for the park

I don't know how, but I knew you'd be there

To think what had happened, my thoughts wouldn't dare

 

I tore down the street and jumped over the gate

Hoping and praying that I wasn't too late

But I found you by the swings, lying on the ground

Impossibly, my voice couldn't make a sound

I fell to my knees tears blurring my sight

The soft glint of metal in the faded moonlight

 

The rain was pounding and you were lost
