Lost

by Kristi Paik

the romance must die

as it always has

alone

frightened and unaware

of the intricate fixings

that held it together

sustained

the one true innocence

before purity had been stained



in solitude

one grows up

and leaves the child behind

You captured the feeling of being "lost" quite well in this piece; especially in the last stanza. Very well done!

this is sad, but true, short, but deep, practical but against the dreams...well written and pointed with a gap of space for interpretation. not given away by the title, but hinted at..fine stuff kp

Yes, a solitude I recognize--well expressed.
