When I Didn’t Feel So Lost

You remind me of a time when I didn't feel so lost.

Of nights when I figured out the World's problems 

Between clouds of cigarette smoke. When the pressing

Issues of anxiety and depression didn't weigh so damn heavy

On my soul.


I see the look on your face when you walk by.

That anxious gaze, mixed with turmoil and fright.

I wonder if you see things the same way I do.

Maybe I remind you of a time when things weren’t so scary?


Is it possible, that both of us are just frightened of 

Opening up our hearts to another worthwhile endeavor

Because the ones we've had broke us down so 

Effortlessly?
