Lost Child

by Jeanette - Aries

If I am supposed to know how to
do this
I have forgotten
I have lost my way
Misplaced my map
Lost the trail of 
breadcrumbs
That I know you must have
left for me
I am now
one of the lost children
wandering 
here in the dark 
of your soul
I am the lost child
we all become when
we love someone
who does not see us
even as they look at us
There are many here
In the abyss 
that is you
I did not want to join this
cult of self
that you created
for I know what will happen
A living death
I exist
I live, I breathe,
but I am 
no longer me
here in the dark of your soul
the dark I did not see
the dark that is hidden by your shining beauty
I have become a permenant part of you now
Just the latest lost child
Drifting in a sea of those who came before me
I love and yet shall never be loved
for I have lost who I am
in a sea of lost souls
