Lost
Where are you? Do you feel where I have gone?
I can’t reach you. I don’t understand. I don’t know where I am.
It’s all dark. Can’t see.
I feel this cold in my chest. Feel ice beneath my feet.
I can hear something lurging behind me.
I’m afraid. Where am I?
Can’t you find me? Where have you gone?
Please come back. I scream. High and loud for help.
It’s all silent. Not a sound anywhere. It’s so silent.
I can’t even hear my own breath, nor my pounding heart.
God, where am I? Cannot someone help me?
Suddenly, ahead of me, a shadow crossing my path.
“Stop! Don’t go! Come back!”
I run, the fastest I can, I’m almost behind the shadow.
But, it’s gone…
Still I’m trying to follow it.
My hands are freezing cold,
I can’t even use them to move branches off my face.
My only love has left me, he’s gone.
I have abandonded myself. All warmth has disappeared.
It will never return to me.
The courage is gone, the hope is lost.
My soul has fallen apart.
I’m cold.
I have fallen down. Lying there in the snow.
Closing my eyes.
And take my last, longing breath…
