If Found I am Lost

Hidden behind words he timidly trembles

These words, my true self does not resemble

Layers and layers deep he can be discovered

Alert me if you do

For our meeting is long overdue

The flower sprouted so long ago

I never had the chance to see the roots before they no longer show

Where to? Where from? equally unanswerable

But I'd be kidding myself to say I ponder the former

My environment gets warmer

But I stay the same

For if I shed just one layer

I'm on step closer to him

And from there it is sink or swim
