Loss

Where were you when you were needed ?

breathless fits of fury fighting,
The river of my sorrow streaming

Drowning me,

Where were you when I was screaming ?

Running where I didn't want to

my need overflowing, shutting

Where were you ?

Where were you when I was crying ?

Desolate but for you wanting,

Weeping, yearning sectioned apart

Where were you but where I had placed you,

In my thoughts, my hurt,

my heart.
