Gone

I’m standing here
looking around
but I can not find you.
I call your name but there’s no answer.
Please tell me where, where did you go.?
Thought you’d stay even though I did you wrong.
All the voices in my mind
drowned you out
I couldn’t hear you.
Never had the time to listen
and all you wanted was my love and attention.
Now I’m wishing you were here.
I feel so alone
now your gone.

I remember when I pushed you away .
Such an innocent presence you carried.
So caring and understanding of what I wanted.
What I needed
didn’t know it was inside of you.
You were here from the beginning, all these years, and in my growth
I turned my back on you.
Just like the rest.
I believed all their lies.
Didn’t hear your cries.
Your crying out
Crying out to me

I froze my heart .
Couldn’t let you back in.
A distance memory
In hopes to conquer my goals
riches and fame
I traveled for miles down this lonely road
Everything is changed
Everywhere I turn
Things are not the same
You were not to blame
It wasn’t your fault
I let you go
Let you slip away.

Now I’m standing here
Looking around
But I can’t find you .
I call your name but there’s no answer.
Please tell me where,
Where’d you go?
All the voices in my mind drowned you out
I couldn’t hear you.
Never had time to listen
and all you wanted was my love
and attention.
Thought you’d stay.
Though I did you wrong.
I’m missing you.
I feel so alone
now your gone.

You put all your hopes in dreams in me.
I threw them away
Had other plans
No silly fantasies.
I sent you out a sheep amongst the wolves
Watched them tear you apart.
And I buried you deep
so deep
I couldn’t hear your screams.
To distracted by the voices in my head
In applause,
smiling back at me.
Appraising,
job well done.
I’ll mourn you until my dying day.
Have to live with what I’ve done.

Didn’t realize I needed you as much as you needed me
And now I’m at the end of this road
Felt you die
I put the flowers upon your grave.
And I weep for you
Reading
Here lies the little girl inside of me.
She’s in no more pain
She no longer cries
Now your gone.
