Lost Twice


It happened twice.

I let myself believe.

I thought that I might matter.

But what I didn’t see.

I loved and lost,

And was broken eternally.

The first was dark and pained,

So similar to me.

She took away the lonely,

Because misery loves company

And I was overtaken.

She left me when I needed her,

And broke my sanity.

The second one was light,

She came in and saved me.

She took away my pain,

And repaired my sanity.

But then she left too,

And now I’m back to broken.

Both of them moved on,

And I’m chained to my pain.

I am a high school student at a small school, I've been through a lot so far throughout my life, but there are three things that I normally write about: I write about the depression that I battle every day and often lose to, and I write about the two women that I've fallen in love with, both of which left, and I'm never going to see either one again. If you like my writings, please e-mail me at [email protected]. It helps to know when people enjoy or relate to the things that I write.
