WHILE YOU WEREN'T HERE

While you weren't here
I cried every night
A million tears fell
Still my heart wasn't right

While you weren't here
I did what I could
Hoping against hope
My decisions were good

While you weren't here
I gained some in age
Things just went on
And life turned a page

While you weren't here
I just tried to go on
Knowing what didn't kill me
Would only make me strong

While you weren't here
A whole lot got changed
My life became different
My world rearranged

While you weren't here
I had to learn to be alone
To stand on my two feet
To make my own home

So that's where I am now
At this stage of my life
Still scared and alone
Still coping with strife

And oh how I wish that
Things could be different
That I could go back
To a time in the past
A Time When You Were Here
A Time That Would Last

You Were My King Lorenzo Scarlette
But You Left The Throne
You Left So Sudden
Now I Am All Alone

A Tribute To My Late Father Lorenzo Scarlette.
