Once Was Lost

So wrapped up
In what I thought
Love had to offer
Went ahead
And placed a cause
On hold

Noticed myself
Looking for something
Acceptable in people

Found it possible
To enjoy a sunset
Ignoring the fact
That if it wasn't for
The factories and
Personal smog machines
The tangerine sky
Would be nowhere
Near as vivid

For the first time
Made to believe
In her touch
Unable to define
The impossibility
Of trust
However temporary
