I Lost You
I lost you in ruins of the past
In distant quicksand you collapsed
You made no deep footprints to last
Faded before the time elapsed.
You didn’t come home at sunset
I lost you in ruins of the past
You froze with night I hadn't met
Dawn didn’t reach you the sunburst.
In woods you were shadow trees cast
You didn’t come out in meadow
I lost you in ruins of the past
You still wait for my hands I know.
In trying journey you did stray
The storm hit you hard in full blast
The sky fell on your lone pathway
I lost you in ruins of the past.
