I Lost You To Money Poem by Kristina Louisa Carr

You have walked great distances in a trance
Not noticing that life is more than a chance
You have laughter and love every day here
But you're not happy and chose to overhear

In every corner you are hunting for money
Missing all joy and the things that are funny
You can only smile about your bank account
Attaching to everything you value an amount

You are stressed but you just keep on going
Satisfaction equals numbers that are growing
You don't see that life is just passing you by
Failing to notice the sunshine and the blue sky

You look stunning in your shirt and tailored suit
But that's all you ever wear you can't dispute
I speak more often to your secretary than to you
You've no time and I'm just waiting in your queue

It appears that you have forgotten who you are
We used to talk for hours and you were my star
I want to just say that I miss our time together
And I want to go back to where we were altogether
