Lost

Listen to poem:

Lost amongst the tattered ruins of yesterdays dreams I wander uncertain of my own fate. Screams in the distance pull me back from the edge of loneliness. I hold onto the pain to stay alive. Cruelty is my companion as i journey to a destiny yet to be revealed. Strength escapes me on the coldest of nights huddled alone with my memories. The tears fall drowning the giggles that once filled my ears. His face a distant longing. I almost wonder if he was ever there at all. The pitter patter of tiny foot steps echo in my fears. Please I wish for them to leave me, and yet I so cherish their haunting lullaby so I can remember what it is to feel joy. My son you are lost, but I will find you. A mothers love never dies.

A sadness overcomes me with this piece Ashley. As a father of 4 I cant imagine losing one. I see the pain in my sister at times with her having lost a child. You expressed the pain very well.
