I’VE LOST

I’ve lost I’ve lost I’ve lost
I’ve lost the curls in my hair
I’ve lost the battle I’ve lost the war
I’ve lost everything I earned
everything I’ve owned
Everything

World’s not fair
words don’t fare
If I’ve lost I’ve lost
dripping late into the midnight
drizzling tears on my cheeks
I’ve lost I’ve lost I’ve lost
I’ve lost the one thing I care

I’ve lost what made me whole
I’ve lost my home
I’ve lost I’ve lost I’ve lost
I’ve lost my feet which I stand up on
the ground ripped apart
I’ve lost the essence of my soul

I’ve lost I’ve lost I’ve lost
yet
do not 
forgive me
for I’ve not lost 
myself
