The Lost Cause

On a mountain top I stood,
Awe inspired by the view,
I completely forgot that I was searching for you.

My mind switched back and
I continued on my way
I needed to rescue you to keep my heart at bay.

I felt winds blow,
The journey was now old,
As I continued, my heart grew cold.

When I found you,
You began to follow,
But it was too late, my heart was already hollow.
