Lost & Found
by: Travis P. Grant

I've experienced pain, I've experienced joy
Forgive me if my experience in Love -
Loss depicts me as being coy. In Love I'm Lost.
I've lived a little, I've traveled some, but
I have yet to be found by that particular someone. I need to be Found.
I refuse to grow old by myself; Lonely, bitter
& gray, if that's God's plan kill me young, so
In bed at night alone I won't have to stay. I need to be Found.
I haven't played with many emotions. I don't
see feelings as a game. I don't fill heads
with fanciful notions, yet the woman that
finds me should be optimistic when we share
each other's dreams. In love I'm Lost.
Some choose to see writing as a waste of time. I view it as
a form of therapy. It should make you feel good, like when
I'm late coming home from work and I have a woman that's waiting &
worrying about me. I must be Found!
They say that patience is a virtue, they also say
that love is blind. But I want my love to see me, find me before we
both run out of time. Love has me Lost!
It's countless times that I've put on an air
of nonchalance in order to portray a mask of indifference to
true love that I've never truly felt. Is a man wrong to
freely voice some of his innermost thoughts in the guise
of a poem when there's more than a slim chance that by
anyone else they won't truly be Felt?
Find Me.
