Lost

Locked away deep inside

Is where I hide

No one to blame

No one to call

Alone

Backed against the wall

I see you

You don’t see me

Where have I gone

What have I done

I stand alone

Somewhere I’ve never been

How many miles

How many steps

How do I find what I lost

When what I lost was myself

Simple and direct

and somehow, very cleverly, your use of language and structure enhance the sense of aloneness, cheers, Jess
