To Lose

Why does it hurt to breathe?
And why does it seem that life is but a dream?
It's not right that these fiends pounce you,


And everything's a sin and nothing ever sounds true ,
And nothing ever pounds you anywhere but the heart.
At least mine beats back, if only today it would start.


I feel a part of me broke off,
When I stopped seeing that cute smile I could die for,
Or the look I got when I finally caught your eye, or


Maybe even the kiss I might find when you finally see me cry,
As you kindly say goodbye, but I already miss you,
Wishing I could be all ready to kiss you,


Now I just wish my past didn't find,
My new self, hidden deep within my mind,
They always said that one day time would unwind


And it never shows any sign that it'll quit
It just doesn't fit, I'm blind.
Without that double beat coming up from my feet,


To my chest, without it I cannot rest,
But it's true I failed the test of your affection
I thought I ran to you but I was facing the wrong direction


Tracing the wrong connection in the trail of love
They hear the wail above as my heart breaks,
I'm astounded that I found you and lost you again


Confounded that a sound view cost me a friend
Bought me an end to joy
I tried to find my Troy but the horse never worked


Two paths intertwine 'till one day they forked
I took the one less traveled by,
But it made no difference

Yes this is an excellent write and asks questions that I suppose we all must answer at some time or another.
