Lost Cause

Folder: 
Other Dedications

You didn’t lose me in a day.

My spirit did not fade

From one day to the next.



It was a process that

Spanned my whole lifetime,

As I slowly vanished

From your good graces,

From consistent thought.



You look back and wonder

What you did wrong;

I softy whisper, “Everything.”



You lost me in each harsh word,

In each hand arched with rage,

In each forgotten promise.



You lost me because

You overlooked every time

I moved a step further from you

Until I opened the door

And walked away forever.
