Gone Away



I watch you stare into the distance of your sorrows.

It is such a desolate place to be.

You sit so still trying to hold back your tears.

I know because I’ve done that before.

I do it everyday.

But now, it’s taking everything for me not to cry.

I wish that I could take away your pain.

I wish that I could make a river from your tears and sail away into your soul.

I would fix the pieces of your heart with my bare hands.

Then maybe you’d understand.

Even though I cut myself, at least I touched you somehow.

I’ll leave the blood to stain forever.

A mark of what I would do for you no matter how much it hurts.

And then I’ll take my paper boat of love notes and fold it into an airplane.

Before I leave, I’ll take the smallest piece of your broken heart and keep it in mine.

So once I’ve flown away and you’ve forgotten me, you will feel the empty space.

When you least expect it or when the silence loneliness becomes apparent,

You will feel like something is missing.

And you will continue down a road to nowhere,

Trying to ignore the hollowness inside.

And you will never know what you lost because I’m already gone.

I’m already gone.
