Lost In Life Without A Lover Poem by James Irwin

Where did all my butterflies go,
lost with summer dreams...and a smile, that I used to know.
Gone with any second glance that is given,
lost to the way of a dance...that has forever been driven.
Unloved, unwanted and put to one side,
all chances of any happiness...continuously denied.
Knocked down, tied and beat,
finding it hard to now stand on my own 2 feet,
need a shoulder to lean on,
or need my want for love...to be gone.
With no support I fall away,
all my will for love, dead on the ground that I lay.
Alone in pain at the care of no other,
lost in life...without a lover.
