You’ve been gone

I don’t know how long

It seems like a while

And I’m sorry if I’m wrong

I don’t even remember the last time we talked

I’ve been avoiding you

like you’re some sort of sharp rock

I have to walk around

Looking away

wondering if you’ll do the same

And you do

truth is I’m sick of playing this game

But now you’re gone and I don’t get to see you

anymore but I’m not even relieved

in fact I’m really sad

I didn’t know what I had

until I lost it

Now it’s too late

And although I thought you didn’t care

And that’s why I left that spot there

beside you for someone, something, anything

else

but at any rate

I miss you

I can’t even tell you how sorry I am

for everything I’ve done

How I left you and thought we were done

just because you wouldn’t say a damn

word to me and I thought you would see

how bad it was hurting me but now I realize

that the avoidance of the eyes

maybe it was my fault

maybe it was

But now you’re gone

and I don’t even know why

something went wrong

something happened but I don’t know why

I’m just left in concern and with a dry eye

because how can I cry

when I don’t know why

I should

We’ve all been splintered

splintered to the core

we’ve all been worried

but this time it’s more

and I feel so sore

from thinking about you

we all do

we all are in some sort of tense

worried

silence

It just doesn’t make sense

but maybe it never did in the first place

maybe it never did

but again I say now it’s too late

but at any rate

I miss you.
