everything gets lost

everything gets lost
sliding fingers trace the time
gently dancing to a favorite song
along my back when you were mine
I turn to look and you are gone
through a door that finally shuts
clumsy clowns lose their hearts
dying inside in the name of art
a silent sunset into dark
your voice still tries to find me
trapped in corners wispy leaves
wasted poetry in windblown sand
sleepless boats alone at last
waiting for someone to understand
forgetful dreams erase the past
rhyming words to ease the pain
ink just fades when soaked by rain
just a penny for your thoughts
just a penny through the crack
and you'll never get it back
crooked lines which never cross
lucky coins we always toss
everything gets lost
