Gone Away
originally did not have a title.
Time and again
You said you would be there
now you’ve gone
Why have you left us
In this cold lonely world
Without a friend.
I reached my hand out to you
You took it for a moment
Then slapped it away
As you would a hot flame
Do I burn you like that flame
Is that why you recoil so suddenly
I turned into that flame
Scorching you who get too near
Black as night you run away
Blinded by the fury
Please come back to us
We miss you
As you deny our existence
Risking all we have to talk to you
We are rejected
How can I reach out again
Who can I trust
We love you and miss you
Come back-don’t leave
There is no one else
No one to take your place
Not in our hearts,
not in our trust.
