The Lost

I was feeling like I lost an old love interest and close friend for a time. Since I wrote this I have come to realize that might be very true.

I feel I've lost a friend

Why, I do not know

Suddenly you were gone

Without a single word

Or a whispered "goodbye"

Was it my betrothed

A triangle not meant

Closer to you maybe

Than I should

My love for you

Expressed without limits

Even residing for a time

Without intimacy between us

I miss my confidant

My own personal shrink

But also closest friend

Few knowing what you do

Not cut of the same cloth

Yet tied in shared thoughts

Emotional bonds ours to keep

More now sister or friend wanted

Than the lover I was proclaimed

I was young and confused

Caught up in emotion

You, my lighthouse, my rock

My guide in the storm

Now silent far too long

Something severed not known

Unable to repair the breach

Not knowing where it is

Secluded from you every way

No presence or page

No voice or call

Closed off from you

Thoughts unknown

My voice of understanding

Are we now the lost

Remnants of a day past?
