Long Gone

When people you love or claimed to love you abandon you, maybe not physically, but mentally and emotionally, you become lost and just want to leave. Well...here you go lol

You turned your back on me,

Slammed the door back in my face,

And stormed off into the distance.

Left me so out of mind, out of place

And there I stood, staring out the window,

Waiting to see if you'd return,

But it became apparent after the years,

That your love I would never earn

I'll be long gone when you're laid to rest

I'll be long gone, this I confess

My name will be an echo, you don't want to hear

And when you die, I'll be no where near

You always were beside me,

But your mind was always someplace else,

Your presence was more an insult than a blessing,

But you cared not how I felt

All I ever wanted, or wished I could have,

Was only a kind word, or a pat on my back.

But instead you gave a blank response,

That even my greatest attempts couldn't crack

So I'm gonna be long gone when you're laid to rest

Yes, I'll be long gone, oh this I confess

My name will be an echo, that you'll never hear

And when you die away, I'll be no where near

You abandoned me by heart and mind,

So I'm leavin' you behind.

I'm turning my back on you,

With memories I wish I never knew

And I'll be long gone.
