Gone

by Daphne Darling   Jun 8, 2004


They are disappearing, not seen any more,
I am losing touch with all that I loved,
Fading away into the background of blood,
Spilled on the cobblestones of this life,

Friends now step over my bleeding battered heart,
It’s as id I am no longer standing there,
It is as if they ca not see me crying,
They can't see the tears running down my face,

The tears that are always present when I am awake,
They can't see how much it all hurts me inside,
It all seems that I am no longer standing there,
Am I invisible to everyone standing around me?

Do I have to be stuck in the background of this life?
Do the cobblestones have to be stained in blood?
The blood has been spilled. It is too late to turn back,
Yet still I want to go back and change it all,

The blood is flooding freely from open wounds now,
Can not it be stoped? Dose it have to flow free?
They are all disappearing into the background of life,
The cobblestones are stained, never to be clean again,

Pages filled with bloody deceitful words of hate,
Lies told on the flip of a coin to friends loyal or not,
Rhymes that fail to see their truth, no longer alive,
It's all gone, fading into the blood staining the cobblestones,

Last word's lost in the shouts of fear rising all the time,
Last breaths gone and forgotten before they happen,
Friendships lost in the blink of an eye, never seen again,
Come back, don’t let me fade away forever,

No one comes to my door to see me any more,
No one rings my phone, its battery has run dead,
Never to be charged again, what’s the point when no one cares,
I am gone, forgotten forever Hated now,

Buzzing through my head, memories long since forgotten,
Memories forgotten by everyone else but not by me,
I refuse to let it all slip away from me forever,
Come back! Don’t let me slip away into the darkness.
