Loss For Words

Loss For Words

I have lost something
that wasn't mine.
The love for someone near.
It had to disappear.
The right thing to do
makes us lonely and blue.
Crushed by the truth,
like God intended.
The beginning of love
has ended.

Trauma, war, and brains.
Search for whatever's left
of my remains.
This feeling of love.
This feeling of hope.
This feeling of fear.
This feeling of losing.
The cliff has become an abyss.
It should have never happened.
I'm sorry about the kiss.
