Where Were You?

by Deaths Maiden   Jul 4, 2004


Where were you when I needed a hand to hold?
Where were you when all my secrets were told?

Where were you in my times of confession?
Were you there for me through my stages of depression?

Where were you when I needed someone by my side?
Were you ever there to wipe away the tears that I cried?

I didn’t understand why you just walked away,
All I needed was your love to brighten my day.

As soon as darkness took me,
You turned your back and chose not to see,
That I was crying out to you, “Please don’t go, don’t walk away,
I need you now please don’t leave me astray.”

Alone in my darkness all I did was cry,
As I sat there and wondered why,
You left me when I truly needed you,
Now I am alone feeling lost and blue.

As my heart continues to break,
I fear it is because of the mistakes I make.
I always felt that I did something wrong,
My life seems empty now that you’re gone.

As I continued to live in darkness every day,
I knew that it was the time to go our separate ways.
For it was you who caused me pain,
Told the world it was attention that I wished to gain.

Those words stabbed my heart like a knife,
I remember hating you for this;
I wanted you to get out of my life.

Alas darkness took me and I lost the light,
I had no strength in me, could not be bothered to even fight.

Why should it matter you didn’t seem to care,
You said you will always be there for me but alas you were never there.

Through my darkest hour I began to give in,
What was once a happy dream had now turned to sin.

What was it that I did wrong?
I thought that here in my heart
was where we belonged.

Now I know that tis not to be,
And now my darkness will be the only thing that will comfort me.

People often ask me why I do not have any friends,

And all I have is this message to send,

“No one was there when I needed a hand to hold,
No one there when all my secrets were told.
No one was there in my times of confession,
No one was there for me through my stages of depression.
No one was there for me when I needed someone by my side,
No one was there to wipe away the
tears that I cried.

You may think I ask too much,
But all I ever dreamed for was someone’s loving touch.

Now that dream seems to have gone,
Anyone I ever held a relationship with seemed to go wrong.

Now I continue to live on through lonely nights,
Praying, hoping that maybe some day some things may turn out right.

A year of loneliness and torture I fear is about to impend
How can so much pain and hurt lay in a single innocent dream of wanting a friend?
