Vanished Suddenly

You vanished suddenly out of view
I didn’t know I was so far away from you
You disappeared out of the blue
Wondering where my missing shoe is
If only you knew, if only you knew
That I’ve lost something so dear to me in this abstract abyss
I call Home
I call Home

The monsters of the deep drowned the living daylights out of you
I’m sorry that I wasn’t around at the time – the death of you has happened so fast – who’d knew
Something this terrible would’ve happened to such a considerate soul like yourself
Believe me, you were a compassionate genius – way better than myself
My thoughts are like an airplane right now – 
They flew away from my sight…
I’m feeling empty somehow…I wipe the sweat from my brow
Tonight, You are my marvelous night

If only you knew, if only you knew
That I’ve lost something so dear to me in this abstract abyss
I call Home
I call Home

Sorrow filled my day, but You got me out of my comfort zone
I know that I’m not alone when I’m with You on my invisible phone
Because I’d rather be disconnected from the world we live in
And disappear from it for life and be in that peaceful Kingdom
You’re probably wondering where I’ve been once again
I’m cooped up in my Home…a sanctuary of felines where I don’t feel lonesome and numb
If only you knew, if only you knew
That I’ve lost something so dear to me in this abstract abyss
I call Home
I call Home

Something in me wants to move on with a clean slate
I know you’ve got lots and lots on your plate
Let me handle it with much care
Because I care about you – I can’t bear
The thought of losing you once and for all
Oh Lord of Hosts, I will stand tall
Let me first catch my breath before I trust you with my life
I vanished suddenly in a flick of a moment – deleting second thought strife
Sick of feeling for you…
This love can’t be healthy
Apparently, I’ve been blue…
Seeing you go so early
Out the front door…
Out the front door…

If only you knew, if only you knew
That I’ve lost something so dear to me in this abstract abyss
I call Home
I call Home

If only you’d understand…
If only I’d made a stand…
I would’ve made it up to you with actions that speak louder than words
Listen to the pounding of my heart…
Lean against my heaving chest one more time
Yes, I vow that I won’t break apart…
This love of mine is an awful crime, but the wrong feels good instead – I’m like the value of a dime…
It rusts due to time and 

You vanished suddenly
I promised to never let you go
Please forgive me, for the promises have been broken unfortunately
The winds of woe blow to and fro
The winds that whispers in my ears:
Let the tears fall from your eyes 
You live in a world of truth and lies
Face your fears and soon you’ll find
That you’re not the only one that’s blind…
So, let time unwind for a time

The wind vanished suddenly
I’m in shock believe it or not
When will I be set free? Where do I flee?
These fields of blasphemy that I once tread has left me to rot
All for naught, wait – I change my mind
It was for a reason – to find out that you weren’t so far away from me…you were holding on to my other shoe with a blissful grimace on your face of grace…a grace that never grows old – my high spirits are still bold – it might not be a pocket full of gold, but rather a tale that is still left untold 

If only you knew, if only you knew
That I’ve found someone so dear to me in this illuminated light that shimmers anew
I call her Love
I call her Love
I call her Love that never fades hastily

I wrote this with mixed emotions. It was such a rough day. At least I have friends, family and writers that care about me though. Thanks for the comment. :) Have yourself a great day.
