Lost face

The face that was familiar is no more

I gaze into the crowds, but see no sign 

I’m fearful like a child lost on a beach

But no one I see here can I call mine.

The face that was familiar disappeared.

I can’t believe you’re nowhere I can find

And as you are gone my own small self has too

I’ve lost my soul, and I might lose my mind

The face that was familiar is no more.

I cannot see or love you as I did.

I wonder where to walk and where to rest.

My  feverish ramblings do my half wit’s bid

The face that was familiar is no more

And my own eyes with weeping are now sore.
