Lost

Lost

A Poem by Michael Gentry

 

 

Lost

I'm not myself

shouting inside

I'm what you want

can't feel I'm ashamed

 

You didn't understand

You use to hold my hand

You use to call my name

And I knew that I'd be saved

My life unfolds

You where there to pull the string

Do what you want

You've taken everything

 

You don't understand

You used to hold my hand

You used to call my name

And I knew that I'd be saved

 

I have sacrifice myself

You laughed at me

I bared my soul

And you mock me still

I gave you my heart and you kept it for a time

Until between then cushion found Like a forgotten dime

 

You don't understand

You used to hold my hand

You used to call my name

And I knew that I'd be saved

 

I let myself be fooled again

This is the last time, never again

Throughout the millennia they have come and gone

The women who only want to do me harm

 

You don't understand

You used to hold my hand

You used to call my name

And I knew that I'd be saved

 

As she approached, silver tray in hand

Still wondering, "Who I Am"

The Echos of those who came before

With the lips of Poe screaming "Nevermore"

 

You don't understand

You used to hold my hand

You used to call my name

And I knew that I'd be saved
