Josh Evans Poet I do not know?

Lost

Today I lost
the best friend I ever had
yesterday I lost
the best moment of my life

last week I lost
Everything that mattered

today I gained
knowledge to span a lifetime
yesterday I gained
the worst moment of my life

last week I gained
Everything Else!

I am lost in this world
I am lost to everything around me
I am lost to everyone who looks to me for help
I am lost to friends who see me for who I am
I find myself without
I find myself with memories
I find myself looking to the future
I find myself searching for help

no one around to give me a hand
no shoulder to cry on
no one to give me advice
except these voices I hear
except these friends surrounding me
except these people I never saw
except these people that the spotlight is on now

Give me your hand
give me aid
please help me here
teach me what I should do
teach me where I should go
teach me how I should feel

I know nothing of this sort of thing
I know nothing except what I lost today

I LOST A FRIEND
OH SO DEAR TO ME TODAY
