Where Did You Go

This hurt keeps me awake The pills can't dissipate this emotion This alcohol can't black me out If only I could give a magic potion I see your face everywhere I look Like an angel beguiling a glimmer of hope Will I ever clasp your hand again? Every sign I see tells me, "nope!" I hide my melancholy-ness In everything I do I write these dirges from my soul Dedicated to you I dream no more Your silhouette haunts me deep The happiness I felt with you I couldn't keep Nothing more than bits and pieces Like an old memory I try to reassemble it But has nothing more for me your kiss, your touch, Each have burned a reserved spot On my body Never to be washed off Much like your face, your smell, your gaze Is eternally etched in each dream I can't sleep You haunt me while I scream You'll never know how far you had me fall How perfect you were How you made me feel so tall That time I was sure That you were the one I shall remain Left with what could've been Sleepless slumber nights Never to dream again Afraid to relax my eyes For when your image appears My heart will bleed Attacked with a thousand spears Deader than dead; indeed I pray to make you stay Right here with me Or I pray your face fades away And finally sets me free Not knowing is the worst The damage is still raw Like a beauty in a hurse That nobody saw
