Lost
Everything I touch disappears before my eyes,
Holding me back, stifling my cries.
I thought this time would be different.
That’s what I hoped, that’s what I dreamt.
I’m lost in a forest, stuck in the trees;
Stumbling, suffocating, I can hardly breathe.
You were my compass, my light, my guide,
But now it feels like a part of me has died.
You were my joy, my only escape,
Now my heart’s been gouged out, the wound agape.
You anchored me, tethered me to the world around,
Now I’m just lost, never to be found.
I know it’s my fault
That everything’s come to a halt.
Yet I just can’t bear
The idea of you not being here.
