Lost

I lost my lover in the night
The moonlight showed me our empty bed
Through the woods I chased her
Her red scarf a farewell present, knotted to a tree

I lost my child in the morning
His duvet thrown back, bed empty
Teddy, one paw raised, waving goodbye

I lost my mother in the dusk
The TV ran itself into white noise
In the static, her voice wished me well

I lost myself at midnight
The mirror is empty now
A photo in a gild frame smiles in parting
