Analysis of Lost
Miles Ohman 2009
And as you were expecting me to help you out of your grave,
I was digging my own.
The words you expected but didn't give back cut deep into my skin and dug through my bones.
I helped you when you were losing your friends,
But where were you when I was losing myself?
