Lost

I complicated my life by falling for him
Something so unexpected that turned into a whim 

And every time I think of it
I’m swaddled by chills

Because knowing that you’ll never be mine
Is a thought that kills

So as I amble lost in myself
My soul inside just simply burning 

I realize you wont be returning

Within my eyes lies a story untold
In my heart a memory I hold

Slowly as my love and hope fade
A cocoon surrounds me from all the pain that is made

Therefore everyday since the wake of dawn
My thoughts of joy are dead and gone.
