I Lost

She is mighty. Brave, powerful and one of a kind. She is every thought that flows my lonely mind. I, a stone that resides, deep within her heart. It is sadly truth, that she must depart. Leave me behind, for I am heavy and weak. Blind to any other than me. Crumbling slowly as I speak. Tired, admitted defeat. Way before the journey could begin, I lost. This body no longer mine. I, a passenger in time. Looking through these eyes, as this vessel flies. I, a victim of the skies soar imprisoned in this mind. Trying to chase a light, in a sea of darkness. I, Inside a cage, Watch these walls crumble. Aflame with rage, I slowly perish at a young age. Receive applause, bow and leave the stage. I, know she deserves better. No one knows where she would have been, if I hadn’t met her. Perhaps her chest would rise to a calm melody. Perhaps, not ever. Though I lost.
