Lost
By: Aidan, 5th grade
Love is lost
Until it has been found
For what is love
Except a fleeting feeling
Of brightening emotion
Yet only exists
To cause those among us pain
For what is love
But a cruel mistress
Of broken hearts
And lost souls
Of those who have fallen
Into love’s cold, hard embrace
Many are those
Who thought they had found
The one
Yet find themselves shoved away, like an ancient toy
Lost behind a shelf
For all eternity
For what is love
But to
Cause ourselves to lose ourselves
In the darkness of pain and anger
The ways of darkness
Children of
Madness
Those of us who have loved
Shall glorify in
The darkness that
Takes all
You who have loved,
You in great pain,
You must fear the darkness
Yet not become a lover
And cause yourself
The pain of a thousand suns
Once again.
