the things we loved

there are things i love

i lost the way to

walking down an empty road

full of heartache

littered with stones

I misplaced myself somehow

So far from home

litmus test was

the aching feeling

left inside my chest

by all the things

that led to emptiness

but then again

how else could it have been

for his world may just have been

designed this way

to break our hearts

in order that in time we find

the essential seed

which leads us back to a place

where we can seek

the precious things we lost the way to

the things we loved
