Lost
Lost in a time of half remembered dreams
where you
and I laughed and loved together.
Lost to the touch a lover once gave
to my
heart and then to my soul.
Lost in emotions that grew so strong
that I
thought surely could not end.
Lost to the memories of “us” with
no desire
to return to time without you.
Lost as empty hands reach out in the
darkness,
trying to touch,
trying to
embrace you once again
and
finding nothing there.
Lost in the tears that stream down
my face
as silence replaces
the sound
of your voice,
as
numbness replaces the caress
of your
hand.
Lost in the memories of long hours
making
love and lying in each
other’s
arms.
Sleep brings blessed return to
that
which I yearn for in my slumber
and long
to return to when I am awake.
I would give my life that I would
not love
you. But what was firmly
anchored
there does not easily fade.
So I remain just simply….lost
