Unanswered Call

Unanswered call

Locked in a small dark room
Huddled in the corner nursing my wounds
Sewing this broken heart together again
Seems like I’m more thread then flesh…

Burned into my mind
The image of you walking away
Down a dark path I cant follow
Like taking a knife
And cutting the rope
A drowning man is holding

Hard to believe
That when I was sad you’d cheer me up
Pick me up and dust me off when I fell
Held me tightly when I cried
Always there to save me from myself when I needed you
Laughing with me during the good times
Keeping an eye on me even when you didn’t want too

This was how you reminded me that I was a person
Something alive
Something with feelings
Like I was worth something to someone

Now, I cant remember anything
Looking back seeing myself and nothing else
Its like a void
Looking back and seeing only a cloud of smoke
A black void beside me where you used to be

All the pictures of us growing up and together
Wiped blank, leaving nothing but a lonely child
Something is definitely missing, but I cant remember what it could be
Searching around on all four like a blind man for something he will never find

There’s no going back
The path you’ve taken I cant follow
The gates of heaven don’t open for the living
I pray and I pray for you to come back
…please…I’m calling out for you.
