Lost

Connection to others is everything

It is what makes us a human being

Without it we are shells

An infinite ringing of ghostly bells

When you find yourself alone

You grow to be prone

To the deepest of loneliness

The bitter sadness the only caress

The world becomes overgrown

Trees creep up, you are on your own

Vines inch down to you

You no longer see the sky as blue

Grey fog fills the air

You think there isn’t a breath to spare

So you being to hold it

Your stomach a bottomless pit

Memories return from the past

Relationships never meant to last

You accept that you are lost

But at what cost?

Who are you without love

When life decides to push and shove

You have become no one

For your life is coming undone

You need to find your voice

And make this important choice

Scream into the darkness

Until you feel breathless

Do not stay silent

Or the outcome may be violent

You need to find your way out

Of this forest, no matter your doubt.
