Where Were You

Where were you when I needed you the most when I cried out your name you disappeared like a ghost where were you when I needed your help in the middle of the night just a moment ago you were right by my side and now you're out of sight You promised that you would be here to keep me safe from harm and hold me tight and closely in the comfort of your arms to help me find my way when I get lost and shelter me at all costs It wouldn't be so bad for me if you hadn't given me false hope because once upon a time in my life I could cope I guess I trusted and depended on you to much and in the end all you handed me was just a crutch So now I must learn once again to get along without you and get myself up off the ground and start off fresh and new dust off and get up and go, what's ahead for me in the future I honestly don't know You could have told me something thou instead of leaving me sad and blue The only question unanswered for me is where were you.

I like the way you chronicle the events that brought you to write this. As you know, I have written much about lost love and I know how you feel....

:( This is so sad, but a great verse. Love the beginning and how you wrapped it all up so nicely (and poignantly) in the end. Always, Laura
