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
