Lose Me

Megan Slankard

Lately
I watch the coffee perk
Give my cup a stir

“It looks dire sir”
It's a voice I've heard
There is no cure
There are no words
I'm not sure
But it seems like a perfect way to lose me

My book rests on the table
My pen leaks poetry
I think I must be defective
You always seem to lose me

Try not to lose me
Do not, don't have to lose me

Lately
It's been 3 am
Up still or up again?

I've kinda crumpled in your hands
Then I scattered in the wind
And if you try to steal my dreams
It's a perfect way to lose me

Try not to lose me

My book rests on the table
My pen leaks poetry
I think I must be defective
You always seem to lose me

Try not to lose me
Do not, try not to lose me
Do you want, don't want to lose me
Try not, do not, do you want, don't wanna lose me
