Long Gone
She dances with the wind
Showing grace
As it slowly pulls apart her face
Allowing piece by peace to fade
A little more
Each and everyday
Until all I see is the air
All of the pain that she would bare
All of the hurt that slashed away her soul
That would make it to where she wasn’t whole
It is all gone
Like a lonely pone lost in a game of chess
There is no more claim
For her to this world
There isn’t a sooth to the burring ice
Even though she’s wiped away the tears more than twice
She isn’t hear to sing her song
She is long gone
Each word, that I’ve heard
Each sip of sorrow
That I’d try to borrow
Is no more
She isn’t here for me to adore
She’s long gone
Without her smile
I could last but a while
Before it fell apart
Like shards of glass through my heart
Sometimes I wonder
What if she’d been heard?
What if they’d seen?
What if they hadn’t been so mean?
Would she still be here?
If I could, I would
Hold her close
And never let her go
They wouldn’t have to know
About the tears she wept
Or the cuts
That bled
From the inside out
Then they wouldn’t have to know what it was about
Why we were together to weather
The storm you’d send
But now it’s to late
She’s just left as pain in the wind
To float through the trees
And ruffle the leaves
If I’d known
What she’d never shown
I would of listened
Put away the tears that glistened
To erase the marks and slashes
To dry up the blood
I would of tried
Instead of asking why
Why’d she die?
I only wait
And hope she’s reached the gate
Until her sorrow fades
Until her pain melts away
Until I know that she has nothing to show
But a smile
That could be seen from a mile
Away
Until that day
I wait here for her
I wait and wait
But she is long gone
There is no more song to hear
There is no one to hold near
There is only the wind
That never seems to end.......
