Losing Myself

Guess Im losing myself for no mirror can remind.
All thoose faces in the past Ive left behind.

Sometimes I cant reconize my own
shadow.
A sweet melody that plays 
long and so very sad though.

Such a large presence to feel so very small.
Times have left me to wonder.
Do I exist at all.

Falling into ways not always my own.
Its hard to rest your head.
When nowhere feels like home.

If only I could carry your burden.
then maybe I could know loves wealth.
If only I could grasp onto someone
without losing myself.
