Lost to the world
where comfort is no more,
tension hums within a body
strung tight as a yo-yo,
twined,
waiting for release
Lost to the world
innocence forgotten
butterflies splattered
on the windshield of yesterday
fluttering ceased
Lost to the world
a soul of optimistic hope
spilling blood until life
seeps below half,
happiness saddened
Lost to the world
a fool who believes
in the trust of love
that forever exists
beyond the final cry
Lost to the world
even with
all these lifted arms linked together,
these numberless feet treading so close
