lost
i am completely and utterly, lost
lost with you, lost without you
i remember when it all seemed to make sense
when life was pure bliss, exhilaration
i remember what is was like to be excited to spring out of bed at the very crack of dawn, anxiously awaiting the possibilities of what experiences the day could bring
and now
i wake up feeling like the dreams i unconsciously create are much better than anything i can do while being awake
i wonder where all the joy escaped to
did you steal it from me?
because, you sure seem to be enjoying yourself
you once told me everyone deserves eternal happiness
but then you brutally ripped the smile straight off my face
you extracted all of the pink in my cheeks and the color from my eyes
i never thought of you as a thief
but then again,
you are a lot of things i never thought you'd be.
