Lost

by Jill Eisnaugle — Read all 611 poems by Jill Eisnaugle

When relationships end, they are often laced with incredible sadness. This poem was inspired by recent events occurring in the lives of several people I know.

Thursday, May 21, 2009

 

Lost just like a ship at sea
Set aimlessly adrift
Lost just like the heart of me
When spirits need a lift
Lost just like a wayward gull
Lone and against the grain
Lost just like when love is null
Never to be again.
Lost just like an echoed cry
Fading into the blue
Lost just like the cloudy sky
With memories of you
Lost just like an SUV
Five hundred miles from home
Lost, I’m sure I’ll always be
If you’re not where I roam.

Lost just like a tower, felled
In progress ‘round the bend
Lost just like the dreams I held
For years and years on end
Lost just like my glowing smile
Now far away from view
I’ve little to make life worthwhile
I am lost without you.

Having been a passenger in that SUV, I could, but agree.

Hey Jill,

Thanks for welcoming me back here again. It feels good to be back. I see you haven't "lost" your ability to move every aspect of the senses and heart. I'm not surprised, either. This is a wonderful description of the feeling of losing the ultimate love.

Take care of yourself and, on another note -- don't work too hard.

;-)
