A song I wrote ten years ago to a lost love – my health, who was out of my life before I had a chance to appreciate her. I have always wanted to post this piece, but it has never seemed right until now.
I LOST YOU
I lost you, before I knew your name
I lost you, on a day just like the others
You left the party before I knew you came
I lost you, without a right goodbye
You left me not a note, a wish, a reason
Just a dream, a chance, a fear that I might die
Empty hands that can’t be still without someone who will
Hold onto them and keep them from covering my eyes
Tell the truth but try to keep a little from me
I’ll need the luxury of a few wistful lies
Memories, a time of innocence
Photographs of a moment when I had you
No one to bring you back, no one to convince
Whether at last I need the cane or energy remains, only time will tell, love.
But your face fades every day and my memories of you lay strewn around the floor, love.
Hopes I’ll see you now and then, compliments of this syringe.
