Lost

Fresh as ripe lime i bounced around,
Fragrance enticing the senses
To grab me all stretched their tentacles
But I rolled smilingly to you

My eyes fluttering
Drowned in the aromas of fantasy and love
I chose the thorn
Ignoring the piercing edge with a shiny smile

Bounced on you playfully, enjoying the pricks
Smoothly went in the thorn and I oozed out crying
Crying but still smiling for it was you
But the drill went deep till it touched the core

My emotions entangled and squeezed out of life
My bouncy youthfulness stilled to death
Sacrificed the life for the death called love

I lost my youth I lost my smile
I lost my aim and faltered around
My focus lost I am still struggling to find
The me in ME and life that I am
