gone

 

 

 

 

The demons that were hiding behind those blue eyes

Could’ve fooled anybody daring enough to look in

The lies that you told kept everybody away

You had more strength than you thought

You put on a fake smile each day.

 

When life was slipping through your fingers

And you couldn’t hold on anymore

You chose the easy way 

And When you took that last breath,

When you sent that last message,

And everything slipped away-

Did you want to be saved?

 

I don’t blame you.

I’ve been there before, too.

I know what it feels like to be holding on by one last breath

One moment from letting go

Because nothing else seems worth it

But it’s not real. It’s a mind game. It’s a war.

A war you couldv’e fought.

A war you shouldv’e fought.

no matter what.

 

I wish I could’ve seen what you were hiding

Maybe I could’ve stopped you that day

Saved everyone from so much pain

But now it’s too late

And we are left here to pick up the pieces

Of a broken soul that flew away. 

 

I look up in the sky each day

Hoping to see you flying somewhere safe

I ask, “Is that you, Ben?” but I never hear a reply.

But, It’s hard to be mad at you for leaving me

When I always said

All we are is stardust in a universe so big.
