 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Lost all understanding


I have lost all understanding
of a world I thought I knew
a world once young,
so full of promise
but the promise now, untrue.

I have lost all understanding
of a love that always dies
a love once young,
so full of promise
yet leaves no hope inside.

I have lost all understanding
of all that I was told
to a mind so young,
so full of promise
where knowledge left me cold.

I have lost all understanding
of why men go to war
these men once young,
so full of promise
now lost to heavens door.  

I have lost all understanding
of whom I have become
now my own are young,
so full of promise
in a world thats come undone.
