Lost and alone,

When I asked myself why


A knock at the door

Someone trying to pry


Words fall on deaf ears

Why do I feel the need to lie?


It hits deep, an arrow in the heart

A familiar face to keep my eyes dry


A hug and simple words

Almost enough to cry


Happiness creeps, a thief in the night

Stealing the pain and questions of why


Healing takes time no rushes needed.

Even if it seems hopeless it’s worth a try


I hear myself say these words now

And even if I’m no one, just another guy

They listen and respond

One Lost, alone, and shy


A blooming flower to be as bright as a rose

The pain moves on without a goodbye


It’s okay to remember and miss

But not okay to cry

I wrote this with a broken heart. It is about something that was incredibly close to me, even though the words hit deep.
