A Little Less Lost Poem by Maya Hanson

Some lovers' hearts break
some bend, some bruise
But we've still got
nothing left to lose
and I don't have the words
in this heart to tell you
that here I feel a little less lost in this place

The whole world is watching
this endless give and take
Pass up empty promises
and linger for heaven's sake
I never dream about you
except when I'm awake
and here I feel a little less lost in this place

I can't stand straight, bodies
made of ashes blow away
I tried to warn you
these humans can't stay
and if I had no heart
that stays beating I could say
love, here I feel a little less lost in this place

Lullabies, a fireside can't
keep me here for long
But moments that don't matter
string me so far along
I've got a wish that someday
I might whisper you this song
that here I feel a little less lost in this place

Some lovers' hearts break
some bend, some bruise
But we've still got
nothing left to lose
and I don't have the words
in this heart to tell you
that here I feel a little less lost in this place
