Forlorn

By Renokhan

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The war I lost, it was my own I lost it being away from home It's not the car, it's not the smile It's not the sex, or his style It's the way I waited knowing you'd be there Then seeing so clearly back in your stare That I was defeated; done Some other guy had won I lost the war then But not because of him Written November 12th, 2001 © on Nov 12 2001 02:32 AM PST   0 • 1
