A December Ballad
Do you ever feel as though
No matter what you do
You’ll never be as good
As those who’re viewing you
And the songs about the same
To which ever day you move
Time grants you space to mood
And melodies to sooth
Yet you stand so far distant
That no one knows you’re gone
Having laughter next to smiles
Brings us back
To being orphans as a child
I’ll sit next to you for a while
Run, Run
As fast as we can
No one really
Can stand a plan
And no one knows you’re gone
Here’s to another chapter written
Impurities of a young one missing
Hidden beneath the stars
I lost myself to comfort sitting at your bar
Stripped the strings from your guitar
Did you forget to show them your scars
Seems you’ve come so far
And they ask you, whom you are
Still no one knows you’re gone
“When all you have is you
I hope you find yourself
Along the way”
