Lost and Found
Tom Lefort 1968
Struggle for time, fighting for breath,
Fading from sight, forgotten by all;
My life I leave for you in words.
Cradling hopes, fumbling vows,
Falling from grace, forsaken by all;
The shadow I cast is left for you.
Running from truth, hiding the pain,
Escaping the now, embracing the end;
My secret I spill upon this page.
Forgiving lies, regretting loves,
Pursuing the past, rejected by time;
The years I hid will now be found.
