Love, Lost.

When I looked into her eyes

I saw a girl born in a raging fire.

When I saw through the lies--

I could tell she was no liar.

She was born with teenage angst and a great strength

She was born amongst the wild ones

The nomads, the travellers

Who walked through many lengths.

She was brought into this world by embers

The bark of the trees made her bones

The leaves curved around to make her muscles.

The clouds made her hair--

She was brought to life by the air.

She floated around so passionately

And she kissed the flowers so gently

She made the sun look dull and dim

She was the object of my whim.

Object she may have been,

But objectified she was not.

For she was much too beautiful to use and throw away

Unlike the rest of the lot.

I dare to say she was the girl of my dreams--

She was the girl who dared to dream.

The wind whispers her name

As the days go by at my cost.

She is the only one I remember.

She is my Love, Lost.
