Slowly I'm slipping,
sliding off this map
we've made together.

I'm disappearing so slowly
we hardly notice
until I'm gone.

I've gone into a nightmare world,
fallen through the cracks
and unnoticed until too late.

I've created this world
in my mind,
the dream is familiar to me.

This world, my world,
is populated with hidden fears
and haunted by unexplored doubts.

I find I'm stuck
in an uncharted dream
with no directions, no map, no exit sign.

There are no arrows
to lead the way,
no "X" to mark the spot.

I drift without your guidance
I forget to remember
where I am or where I've been.

I wait and hope,
wandering and lost,
waiting for you to find me.

Ten steps forward
(Or was it ten steps back?)
will put me in your loving embrace.
