I Knew Then

i saw the absence in your eyes
but they were cloaked with wanting.
i could not look past the flame. 
i lost myself in the stares
of a lost young man. 
and where can you find me?
i will be wandering lost
until i am found again.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
