Lost Souls

There we were driving down the road. I said I love you and I meant it, you sought my hand and took it. There we were holding hands like two lost souls who don't know where to go. I feel forgotten, so lost, nothing left to be strong for maybe I'll give in... to what? I don't know, anything that tempts a lost soul. And you, even your bones are sad your very veins cry and yet... you make plans to fall in love, move on. I'm so...forgettable. I may be lost but at least I'm aware. You don't know what to be and you pretend to not grieve as I cry behind my sunglasses at the lucky fields who don't miss their mother. Saw a mother pushing her child on their homemade tire swing and I was jealous. My very heart turned green. I wish it was me. I wish it was me. Five months and twenty four days. Five months and twenty four days. Never been away from her that long. If she were pregnant it would be starting to show oh why do I think of such things? Her Sunday drives to the beach. Her Dad's cigar getting her sister in trouble. Hearing God's name for the first time. Falling in love when she met you. Someone,anyone: tell me it won't be longer. Tell me it won't be much longer.
