Where have you gone away to?
You see, I've looked all the places we used to go together,
I've asked the stars a thousand times,
I checked under my bed where you used to tell me that the monster could never reach me,
I've asked myself in the mirror countless times,
But you see, you've left no clues to where you're hiding away from me,
I could lie to myself a million times,
Tell myself that you're okay and that you're happy without me,
And truth is, I'm sure you are,
But you see, I am not,
Those nights where your absence chokes me up,
Those nights where you used to dry my tears are now flooded,
The pain of loving you has a new partner in crime,
The pain of missing you,
I remember the nights I was clenching my chest,
Gasping for air,
Choking on salty tears with sadness stained cheeks,
Begging you to stay,
But nothing,
Nothing compares to this,
This ache,
You see, your silence is killing me,
My ears are ringing,
My eyes can't seem to focus anymore,
My hands? I can't stop them from trembling,
But nothing brings me closer to you,
And so my question still remains,
Where is it you have gone away to?
