Eternity

"I loved you for
An eternity
Still wonder why
You said goodbye..."

They left me sitting
Alone and naked
Badly beaten
My life's all faded

Looked around
Called your name
That familiar reply
That never came

Holding back tears
And feeling unsafe
Yet they had
To kill my faith

I screamed but still
You didn't come
Fear paralyzed me
A gust of numb

I reached out
Trying to reach
Into nothingness
A silent pitch

Again I tried
A frantic frenzy
Despair responded
Overwhelmingly

I never cried so much
Dad leaving was a mere touch
Deep within I felt engulfed
My broken soul cruelly halved

I loved you
But I felt betrayed
You were never there
When chaos flayed

I needed your touch
To hold your hand
You were the one
Who would understand

But it wasn't so
You had to go
Leaving me while
They took my smile

It's all over
So I think
I don't know
I daren't blink

Maybe I'll try
To have some sleep
But a thousand times
I'd quietly weep

You're just
A forgotten ghost
You left me when
I needed you most

So farewell
And let me be
I once loved you
For eternity

But even eternity
Has to die
Ours did so
When you said goodbye
