Forlorn 

For lorn 

For

Lorn 

I roll the word around my tongue until I can't remember why I even thought of the word.

It's syllables of two consonants to one vowel and three consonants to one vowel. 

They make me think of the three consonants and two vowels of vowel. How many syllables does syllables have? 

Sy 

Lla 

Bles 

Memories 

Mem 

Or

Ies 

Is it mem or ies? 

For lorn mem or ies 

I lie and wonder 

Won der 

Red now my mind the blood that enters my thoughts 

So 

Intrusive 

So unexpected but 

Expected because they never leave me and we are still here and still us but still I feel 

Lost

Or like Ive lost us

Useless mem or ies 

Use full of regrets and shame 

Can ned 

Chain ed

Chang ed 

Un chang ed mem or ies 

Re main for lorn
