Lost

I searched for you
in the middle of the night,
waiting,
longing for you
and desiring you
until the pain in my heart
consumed me;
you were lost to me.

    Oh Patty,
    Is this what happens sometimes one just becomes lost inside although its not always the other person lost.
    It maybe the very one feeling it through what they
    are facing. Still they cant always feel or even cry through that pain of depression situations I guess it can take its toll thats what this surely reflects...

    Cool, you got green...my favorite trophy color...too bad they don't have Moxie orange!

    The poem fits the graphic perfectly. It has that same tragic hurt to it.

      Thanks, Yem. Yes, well, I'd like to have had another color besides green, but I'll take it. Now, I'd still like to try that Moxie everyone talks about so much.

    Damn! That was absolutely beautiful and enchanting! I loved the picture, it was also beautiful. Such a forlorn thought, given a broken kind of beauty.
    Well done.
    Write on!

    "If they don't return, they were never yours to begin with." This is a pain that many people know. Often love means letting people do what they wish. This short poem has a strong image and a complete emotion.

    When will this hysteria over the 'quickie' end? I don't mean to sound bitter or like 'sour grapes' but I couldn't write in this form if my life depended on it. Good luck in your endeavor.

    Sincerely,
    Leo Long
    ps. I do like the background and your message is NOT lost on this old romantic soul.

      Thanks, Leo. I've done about three or four of these. I like the old contests where one isn't rushed. There are only a few I'd do this for, and I agree. Besided, the winner is pretty much obligated to hold the next contest, so I pray I don't win the gold.
