When Reality Hits Home
Empty, lost, confused and sad
Angry, upset, lonely and mad
This is how I feel
Ever since what seemed to be a dream has now become real
Empty because you were taken away
Lost because we didn't know what to say
Confused because I don't know what to expect
Sad because I wish our family could be trusted and given more respect
The day you left I was torn apart
It was as if you took with you a part of my heart
I cried in shame, although it may have been lame
Nothing anymore is ever the same
Angry because you can never be alone
Upset because, for Christmas, you can't even come home
Lonely because you're not here to fight with or talk to
Mad because I never realized how much I'd hurt without you
Sometimes I'd never give you the time of day
But I hope you know I cared about you anyway
We'd always fight, it wasn't right
Oh what an awful sight
Now that you're not here, I'm always filled with fear
Fear of you feeling alone and like no one is there
Fear of you feeling that I don't care
If we look back into our past to all of the moments we've shared
I hope you'll realize that I've always cared
If you ask me why we fought and why we never got along
My every answer would always be wrong
This question has no answer, I don't know why we did what we did
It makes me wish that I was still a kid
We were best friends in our past
And we had the chance to make it last
But instead of following that path of being friends
We turned right at the corner where that path bends
The new path we took changed our actions
As we tried to communicate, we received different reactions
The past few months and the past few years
Haven't been pleasant- they've brought many tears
Why couldn't we laugh, why couldn't we smile
Now, it will be a while
A while until everything will end
A while until I can be your friend
A while until we can change our attitudes
A while until we can show each other gratitude
Although it hurts while you're gone
I hope that it will help you and that you wont feel alone
While you're gone, I have to stay strong and hold back many tears
I have to laugh and smile while overcoming my greatest fears
I have to make myself believe that you're going to be okay
I have to remind myself that you're not gone forever and that I'll se you again soon some day
Empty, lost, confused and sad
Angry, upset, lonely and mad
This is how I feel
Ever since what seemed to be a dream has now become real
