Gone

Loved ones,

Missing,

They were there,

Now they're gone...

Dead, dust,

Silent, quiet,

I miss them so,

For them I long...

Lost, lost,

They all are lost,

In all this mess...

Found, found,

I wish it so,

But still not here,

They're here less...

Asleep, asleep,

Sleeping silently,

Cannot breathe,

Maybe dead...

Awake, awake,

I am awake,

They're still here

Inside my head...

Away, away,

They won't go away,

Nagging at me,

Wish they'd disappear...

Near, near,

I know they're near

The voices in my head

Are still here...

Loved ones,

Missing

They were there,

Now they're gone...
