I'M Lost... Poem by Nestor David Armas

I'm lost without her smile;

Wandering aimlessly,

She's derailed me;

I was on a one track road,

My priorities straight ahead;

Then she came along,

Blind sided, side swiped, T-boned;

Me into the stratosphere,

She made me her orbit;

Asteroids couldn't do worse,

Than her comet's impact;

Into my world,

She took my air;

The very breath from my lungs,

I am left gaping fish out the water;

Swimming in the ocean deep,

All around me cold;

No relief in sight,

Not even alcohol can do away;

With her singed image in my brain,

I float as I sink;

Every stray thought is her,

She's cut me off at the knees,

Rendering me useless;

Do away with me like Old Yeller;

I no longer am alive; without her...
