Lost To Me

Lost To Me

•

when you could
no longer
look
into my eyes

I knew
you were lost to me

when you could
no longer
hold
my longing gaze

I knew
you were lost to me

when you could
no longer
softly speak
my name

I knew
you were lost to me

when you could
no longer
smile
at my tender touch

warm
to my embrace

rest your head
upon my shoulder

nor
whisper
of your love

I knew then
for certain

you
were lost to me

never again
will I
soar
above the clouds

circle
‘round the sun

dance
among the stars

fold
with you
in the crescent
of the waning moon

never again
will I
drink deeply
from passion’s fount

nor
taste
a lover’s lips

you
are lost to me
forever

lost to me

  1. and when someone that you love that intensely is lost,, it is as we grieve them… but it is not until they are actually dead,, that you will ever know what losing them really is….

  2. Losing your love is the deepest wound that seems to grow larger no matter what folks say about time.
    You expressed that well here, Rob.
