Haunted

Haunted

Where are you?
Can't you see that I need you? 
I need you here
To get me through these troubled times
But instead you're gone
And here I am writing this rhyme
I still wonder to this day
What crossed your mind?
To make you do what you did
Was it something I said?
To make you want to be free
To make you want to be dead

Don't leave me here on my own
I don't want to be all alone
Why didn't you say you were in pain?
You should've just called my name
I would've been there for you
Instead no , what did you do?
You took the easy way out
The thought of it all makes me want to scream
The thought of it all makes me want to shout
I was in the same room
With my back turned
When you decided to seal your doom

These voices keep haunting my mind
Louder and louder everyday they grow
It's like they're ghosts that won't leave me alone
A chain of memories playing like a film
The good and the bad
Doesn't matter what they are
I still feel sad
Why Dad, Why Dad?
Why did you go?
What made you feel low?
Low enough to make the finishing blow

Don't leave me here on my own
I don't want to be all alone
Why didn't you say you were in pain?
You should've just called my name
I would've been there for you
Instead no , what did you do?
You took the easy way out
The thought of it all makes me want to scream
The thought of it all makes me want to shout
I was in the same room
With my back turned
When you decided to seal your doom

My world has been turned been turned upside down
It's like I was knocked to the ground
By a punch that came from nowhere
It came without a sound
Two years have nearly passed
And still to this day I'm haunted by the past
It was selfish of you to do what you did
To leave me here
In theses troubled times
It's because of you that I'm writing this rhyme
This is how I truly feel inside..

Where are you?
When I need you
You left me all alone
Now I call your name
When I'm in pain
I can't hear you
I can't see you
All I can hear or see
Are the memories that haunt me
