The Lost Ones

Amidst their struggle still to gain, Their tears have sunk for the suddenly slain. . . Sprinkled drops of warm red rain. The edge that stirs up a vast deep pain. Though our fragile hearts break again, They lie in our thoughts like a mild wild flame. . . Even as they return the way they came, Our minds were the graves they've always lain.
