All Is Lost

by imstillwaiting   Feb 18, 2008


When you lose something so dear,
It means the world to you.
How do you get back from where you were,
To where you are now?

You shut yourself up,
From everyone that ever cared,
Or at least showed a little concern.
They feel betrayed.
For when they were reaching out their hands for you to grasp,
You turned your back on them.

When you realized,
All is lost.

When you gain something so dear,
It means the world to you.
How do you make sure,
You won't lose her again?

You shut yourself up,
From your family and friends,
From all those who stood by you.
They feel neglected.
For you decided to give her all your time and effort,
Making sure she'll stay yours.

When you realized,
All is lost.

When you are on top of the world,
The world means little to you.
How certain are you,
You will stay 'down-to-Earth'?
When you do fall,
Who do you go to for help?
Who do you go to for comfort?
Who do you go to for love?

When you realized,
All is lost.
