Long Gone...

Life was hard and I know all the reasons why you wanted to leave here
Shed your skin so your being could grow in a much better place
But when you left us a piece of my heart you surely took with you
There’s no other to fill those big shoes left behind in your space
All I find are imitations and fragments of your beauty and truth
If I was down I’d hear your voice and it always did soothe me
To hear your wise words, how they echoed to my restless soul
Like a lullaby I once heard when I was only an innocent child
Stroke the tears from my cheeks, cup my face and say it will be alright
I knew as long as you breathed I would never be alone… so alone
I’m so angry at you for not fighting harder when we tried to save you
But somehow you just gave up your will and you had to let go
The noise in your head, I’m sure sometimes it must have been deafening
I tried to hear your inner melody, but the static was just way too loud
Please tell me there was nothing else I could do to change your life…
I’m searching for someone or something to show me I’m living
The bad and the good times, the reasons making sense in the end
But somehow today I’ve give-up and I’m so tired of trying
These people I see in this world are so cruel and unkind
Christ I know you were brutal at times but at least you weren’t blind
Come visit me tonight in my dreams and please re-assure me
Because this rollercoaster’s come off its tracks without you my friend
I’m scared and I’m lonely and I want to make peace and feel better
To live a whole life and not just half of what‘s being offered to me
See, I still have hope though you’ve gone, but I still question why?
I wonder if goodness really exists, then why did you have to die…
