Lost Cause Poem by Solomon Kobela

Lost Cause!

Have you ever looked at someone in their eyes and as you looked tears gathered in yours. You felt complete and you felt an abundance of affection. I used to feel that way
I used to sit and stare at that soft and beautiful smile for hours on end. I was in love. I am in love. They say to see the rainbow you have to deal with the storm. For the few times that our storm gathered our walls remained fortified by our dreams. We let loose our anchor and our boat just slid through the waters at high speed.

Only to run into an iceburg. we crashed and our boat slowly began to sink. We lost hope, we lost our sense of direction. It was a save yourself situation. And in the process we lost us.

I cant be friends. I almost died trying to save us. I cant be friends, i dont know how to after all that we shared. I cant be friends i still love you... and everyday i look at you i still have tears gathering in my eyes. I still love you..but these arent tears from affection. These are tears, of a lost cause!

I spent months waiting for an answer.
Insomnia became a friend. And my bed was a strange and ginomous place. But when i did have the courage to sleep in it, i slept across it. Thoughts....! Longing, pain loneliness emotional i was! Due to disbelieve, i had alot to say about us. But now i have no more words to say
I was a lost cause. I am a lost cause!
