Lost

Sometimes we look for answers in the wrong places.

By Kellie TruskettPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

One more time

Just one more

I know this time will not be the same

I’ve told him

I’ve told her

Everyone knows I hold no shame

I’ve looked

I’ve searched

I’ve been and done this before

Last time

I know I said

Ok. Just this one time more

I search high

I search low

I know I’ll find it soon

Is it here

Is it there

Am I slowing reaching my doom

I know I’m right

I can’t be wrong

There is just no possibly way

I’ve seen the signs

I’ve seen the clues

I remember it like it was yesterday

One month

One week

Somehow a year has passed

Just this time

And the next

Do you see this or that is a question asked

I can’t be wrong

I know Im right

Just one more time

Just one more night

When will I do,

What I should have already done

Give it a miss,

How? Then I haven’t won…
