Analysis of Lost Without You

Jessica O'Daniel 1990 (Ardmore, Oklahoma)



It seems like a dream,
Where I was holding you in my arms,
Not like how life is now,
So unforgiving and hard.
I stumble through each day
All my thoughts are about you,
I'm cursed to live this life,
But I'm so lost without you.
