Loves Lost

lightless rain is falling, 
and i cling to the lost, 
where breathing is irregular 
and vision blurred 
and resentment builds 
and misunderstanding understood. 

i ponder what i thought i knew, 
what love was to me and you. 
on one hand a pair of dice, 
the other an imaginary friend 
who can only see this moment 
and not an end. 

there is no desperation 
it floats into an oblivious wind,
trying feels a lot like crying 
and i don't know me anymore, 
or less, than i did before. 

perhaps it's a lack of focus, 
all i know is that beauty is lacking, 
and losing, 
and crushing, 
and answers not. 
what happened to love i'd been sending, 
where are you happy ending?
