In Your Loss I'Ve Lost Myself

Chances were taken
    In your loss I've lost myself
        I still choke on your regret
Crisscross not straightened
    Stop hiding under my shelf
        You carried so much neglect

There's a tightrope to walk in that kind of circumstance. I almost lost myself that way, trying to save someone else. Good sedoka, Laura.

This is sad and I like that second line a lot and this kind of theme you chose to do.
