Lost
First I lost my innocence
Next I lost my dad
Then my childhood passed away
It was really all I had
After virginity had gone
And cynicism came
I lost my heart
It returned once
But never was the same.

This is so matter of fact and I accept it as so true that I forgot to feel sad when I read it! I think because there are elements that are true for me here, I can't feel sad. This is just how it is. Very well put.
Lovely in its simplicity and understatement. Although written in first person there is a detachment in the poem, which makes it all the more powerful for the reader.
This is very special, well done.

Sad and beautiful. And real.
