Lost to Me
By: Lauren

I watch you walk away
Your cold figure retreating
Not a care
For the broke heart you've left behind

What happened to your warmth?
Your joyful smile?
Your sparkling eyes?
Your heart that once loved?

Gone. Gone.
Just like you
You said the final goodbye
You shattered my last hope

Your words echo in my head
Over and over
Each time cutting deeper,
Deeper into my soul

I long for the days of old
When the world wasn't
Quite so cruel
Before you lost your innocence

Now, no matter how much I cry
Or how loud I scream out your name
You're gone
Too far for me to reach

I'm sorry,
I'm sorry I couldn't hold on any longer
And you pushed me away
Now it's come to this

Please take care of yourself,
I beg of you
Learn to love and trust once again
And maybe one day.
Remember me,
Remember how things used to be
Call me and talk to me
So that we can start over once again
