Loss

LOSS

What if you lose something you never knew you had

You were never given the chance to do the best you can

You were never able to long or regret

Never had a haunting memory to forget

What if you thought you lived life to the fullest, but was wrong

You missed out on the one thing you did not know was gone

Never looked in their eyes or had a hand to hold

It was never given life or had a soul

It's hard to explain the pain of something you never had

Loss rears its ugly face at last

Loss of hope that lived for only a glimpse

Hope came as quickly as it went
