Lost & Forgotten

he walks the lonely streets
everyone he ever meets
reminds him.
he strolls the narrow roads
and the darkness welcomes him and
reminds him.
he runs through empty fields
but he is trapped and this always
reminds him.
he is reminded every day
he is reminded in every way
how the cruel twist of fate
and the way the people hate
joined together against two souls
because it was ‘unnatural’.
and now all the time
he cannot help but sigh
for the one he lost and the one he never knew.
