where have you gone

where have you gone now that I'm older are you happy free watching over me? thinking about all the opportunities you're missing? can you see me now with all the time I've lost? can you see all the things you leaving me cost? are you happy now ever night watching me cry? hoping and dreaming someday you'll tell me why, why you left me alone with nothing but the darkness and temptations of running further and further away from the light, if it means I get to see you one last time. where have you gone now that I'm lost in this labyrinth frozen in time stuck in the silence of the past unable to change? where have you gone with the moment of our lives with us laughing carelessly having fun acting strange? it's funny to think how easily these moments can be lost like a key to a door that is now forever locked, but I can't help but ask myself the same question, "where have you gone?" but knowing the answer I can't speak up because I understand if I do I'll have left you too. where have we gone? the people we use to be with no care in the work living happily now stuck in the moments of realization that time will not change no matter how long we wait, like the log of a tree waiting patiently, rotting away with the days
