Are You There?

You left with pride you were doing all that was right.
A year later you've became another.
Who exist's only within the fight.

Off the plane empty eyes did greet.
Goobye to that sweet soul.
Asking old friends did we ever truley meet.

A battle is fought within inside.
Cold night sweats.
Speaking another language there are
inwhich you can confide.

The sand and regret is a painful cross to
bare.
Old friends run a hand in front of your face
and question are you there?

A cigarette's glow  in a dark room.
His emotions like dust
Swept away in the morning by a old broom.

Taken to bed by diffrent women for none 
he does care.
Kissed lips question are you there?

Every waking moment  does remind.
The pain that he does exist.
And the brothers he left behind.

To break a soul  empty there is
nothing left to share.
Theres really no need to question.
For he"s no longer there.
