Reaching out Wanting you to see That I need you now more than ever But you are not there You never are I feel so stupid, Looking for you in the shadows Everywhere I go Wanting you to be there Wanting you to see Wanting you to want me Waiting and watching For any sign of a response But nothing No reaction Not response I miss your voice And the way you’d hold me The way you’d comfort me If I would wake up crying Every night you were gone I’d pray to god That he’d bring you home That you would be there tomorrow And never leave us again Always saying you had to work But really just trying to escape Scared I would crawl into your bed You were never there The sound of muffled weeping Breaking the silence Looking at the closet door Pain filling my heart You would ask to be forgiven For all the wrong you had done For not being able to do everything Sitting there not understanding I’d close my eyes and ask god To forgive me, to show me What I needed to do What it was that I was doing wrong. Waking up The feel of arms around my body Closing my eyes again Not believing Not understanding When I open them again It’s all gone again And so are you
