Where Were You?

Where were you, when I was in pain?

I was lonely and cold, out in the rain.

I wanted to cry, but could shed no tear.

When I needed your help, you chose not to hear.

 

Where were you, when I needed a friend?

To give me some help, or a hand to lend.

I've been alone, and empty inside.

And so I ran, far away to hide.

 

Where were you, when I needed love?

We started to fight, when push came to shove.

A simple hug, or a kiss would do.

You never even said, I love you.

 

Where were you, when I was lost?

I was left alone, the price it cost.

I needed someone, to show me the way.

I've been hurting a lot, ever since that day.

 

Where were you, when I was young and free?

What was more important, then being with me?

Why were other things, higher on your list?

Why did you treat me, like I didn't even exist?

 

Where were you, when I needed a Dad?

I was lonely and scared, and often times sad.

I needed someone, who's friendship was true.

Where were you, when I needed you?
