Dedicated to someone very close to me. R&R plz.

- - -

Lost

- - -

You were mine

For all those years.

We were friends

For all those years.

- - -

I’d hold you in my arms

We’d squeeze tight

Until breath had deserted us.

But now I just feel

Like you have deserted me.

- - -

I never thought it would come to this

I never thought I would lose you.

We were so close

My dear friend,

How could I have lost you like this?

- - -

Now I feel more alone than ever

That man took you away from me,

That greedy, selfish, stupid man.

My guide, my protection, my companion –

Now gone forever.

- - -

Perhaps one day you’ll return to me

Then we can hug again

Until our breath is as lost

As you are from me now.
