I LOSE

I lose 

Time and Again

When the world claims for themselves,

That once was mine.

I lose more than you see

When time rips my memories,

A touch here, a moment there.

I lose more than you see

When new faces replace old,

In dreams and family albums.

I lose more than you see

When stories fail to sketch, 

An unseen father's face.

I lose more than you see

When death doesn't falter 

In the face of human love 

I lose more than you see

When loneliness skews

Loves rigid vows

I lose more than you see

Time and Again

I lose...

I lose...

More than you see
