Gone
You used to brave the world, all on your own
You used stand by me, my sturdy wall
You used to hold me as I cried, my faithful shoulder
You used to be at my side, every step of the way
You used to watch me, as I made my own mistakes
Because you were there, I could do it.
Now I cower in fear of the world, you’re not here
Now I stand alone, no one to lean on
Now I cry into my pillow, every single night
Now I walk without support, no echoing footsteps
Now I’m too scared to make my own mistakes
Because I might not live through it this time...
