Lost

Whether in thought or in life

Her life was like a tragic play

Slow, painful, deep decay

Stuck in tomorrow, in yesterday

Unable to tell each day from day

Where was she going?

We'll never know

She was just a lonely ghost

There she wandered

To and fro

Looking for what she wanted most

Her life was like a piece of art

Messy, tragic, broken heart

There was no end, there was no start

Slowly losing part by part

A home, a home

A place called home

So she no longer had to roam

A piece, a peace

Some piece of peace

So she could finally rest at least

sad poetry

About the Creator

Discovering myself all over again.
