2015 Poem-a-Day April 7 (love or anti-love prompt)

Lost in Me


I’ve forgotten how to want
Locked in a constant constrain
Everything is in my head
The rest missing attention

I know myself no longer
And wonder if I ever did
The pains taken haunting
Leave the unenvied unwanted

This song is just memory
Heard at a distance long before
A melody I don’t recognize
Next to a rhythm foreign

Heat has left my soul
Leaving only cold hollow
Alone in this shell
Where love is unknown
