Where Have I Gone?

I walked along with myself today

Spoke to myself in a peculiar sort of way

For there among the thoughts of one

I found myself standing alone

And my eyes towards the skies started to cry

While I recounted my unsung songs

My many loves rights and wrongs

And like sands through an hour glass

I reviewed my life’s past

While taking myself to task

Oh my, where have I gone?



Perhaps a different night or different day

Would change the way I felt today

As I slowly consoled myself with no words to say

I looked into my soul…softly dying



So many dreams I’d set aside

So many truths were only lies

I realized that I’d watched as I’d bled

While trillions of thoughts inside my head

Had danced with my shadows



So Oh my, where have I gone?

The lonesomeness were it only…to become…me
