A World Away

It's poetry, if I described it, you would look for what I described, and who wants that. (Not saying you're predictable, oh I should just hush...)

I know it feels like I’m a world away

But I’ll always be right by your side

I can hear you begging me to come back

And I know it hurts when I don’t answer

I see you every time you cry

But all I can do is cry with you

Sometimes I try to hold you close

To stop your misery and your screams

The pain of losing someone is heartbreaking to wear

But the pain of having someone who thinks you’re gone

Is too much for me to bear

 

It feels like we’re a world apart

And you have no idea where I’m at

But I’d give anything to let you know

I’m standing by your side

I trace your footprints in your shadow

I’m right behind you, but you don’t know

I know I promised I’d come back

I know I promised I’d never leave

 

There is nothing wrong with missing me

Just please, don’t punish yourself for me

It brings me joy to watch you laugh

And it brings me peace to watch you move on

To live your life to its fullest,

Without me to slow you down.

 

And now, six years down the line

I know you miss me still

Even if you forgot what I look like

And sometimes I slip from your mind

It doesn’t matter, because your faith is strong

And I know the tears are still real

Because you shed them on my grave.

I don't know if I'll continue poetry or not, but I hope I put this in the right category... I'm pretty lost when posting this stuff.
