Bread Crumbs

I left a trail of breadcrumbs for her to find me again,

But once she found them,

And started to head my way,

I was reminded about how much courage it takes

To be truly in love;

And I went back,

And picked up the crumbs.

Now she is lost in the forest

And I am a lonely coward.

What a waste of bread.
