Where Are You Now
Folder:
Notes They Left Behind looking out a misty window
out at the passing rain
brings to mind those tears you cried
brings about those blackened eyes
i still remember the things you said
what they did to you, all they had did
i remember you wondering how it would stop
if you would have to go away
but most of all i remember the day
the day you left this place
you told me it was time, you had to go
i remember i begged you to stay
the tears are rolling as they did that day
i know you said dont cry
you told me it would be better this time
but to this day i dont know how?
how this was right..?
fair to you,
and right for the world
fair to you,
and takeable to me-where are you?,
where are you now?
where are you now?...
abuse comes in many colors
and they each gave you a rainbow
leading to their hearts of gold
yes, their hearts of stone
how was this right..?
fair to you,
and right for the world
fair to you,
and takeable to me-where are you?,
where are you now?
where are you now?...
i'm standing here where you were
its all empty and barren now
the walls are chipping, windows boarded
and i'm standing here in silence
somehow i
think i heard you whisper
maybe its just
an echo from the past
maybe,...
maybe it is..
maybe so,
but i thought i heard you say-where are you?,
where are you now?
where are you my friend, where have you gone?
is it my concience..?
did i not do enough..?
i'd do anything i could and more
to have the answer to what we're waiting for-where are you?
where are you now?
where are you, where are you now?
where have you gone?
where are you now?
but i know there will be no answer
for i have called out for you before
my only answer will be silence
and so i will be left here to cry on
but i really hope you're happy
where ever you are
and i hope i never did you wrong
it's gotten so hard to recall
it's all a blur
dusty and all
dusting off these walls
they're still just walls...
where are you now?
(i miss you...)
sometimes in my life ive wondered where people have gone. i look back and think to myself was there anything i couldve done to keep them with me or even around me. and the only thing i could come up with is that if they left its for a reason and we cant question it but we have to allow it to happen. to make us stronger and make room for that next person to come in our life. i love this poem.
