so lost without you, i was so lost in you, now all is lost and i don’t know how to find my way, i tried leaving a trail of breadcrumbs but the raven got fat the farther from home i went
now i just need to sit a spell, cast a spell, spell your name in the dirt, summon the courage to try and summon you back to my side, just so i don’t have to be alone in this cold and lonely night
but we both know alone is the only thing i deserve, while someone else keeps you company, let me fade from your grasp, phantom fingers clutch my heart and it has to end, i’m begging
i need you more than i’ve ever needed anything, so lost without you, so lost within you, i don’t know how to find my way home when home was in your arms, nothing else will ever do
follow the tattered yarn, winding it’s way through the forest, past the ravens that circle, i’ll be there, holding my head in my hands, trying to summon the courage to banish you from my aching chest
I liked how you formatted this poem, with the lack of line separation inside each stanza. It adds to the sense of rushing thoughts that tumble out after each other.
