where were you when they were taking hostages?
by joshua-lederman
where were you when they were taking hostages?
where were you when my life fell apart?
where were you when they decided I’d gone far enough?
where were you when I was broken?
you were only there when I was whole
I was only whole because you were there
where were you when I was bleeding?
where were you when it hurt like hell?
where were you when I fell off?
where were you when I needed you most?
you were only there when I was clean
I was only clean because you were there
where were you when I was making mistakes?
where were you when they had it in for me?
where were you when I lost all hope?
where were you when the voices fucking tore me apart?
you were only there when I was alive
I was only alive because you were there
where were you when they were taking hostages?
where are you now?
you were only there because I was there
I was only there because you were there
I’m only here now because you’re not
