No longer there
My coat lays restless on the rack
My mirror misses me in despair
The stairs search for my lost track
The pillow keeps the last trace of my hair
My towel sits so damp and still
The last of my scent holds on to the air
Everything remains unchanged
But It’s me who is not there
There in the hollowness of the empty nook
Stare my glasses at my orphaned book
They sit in total solitude and despair
Lamenting the vacancy of my empty chair
Everything remains as i left it unchanged
But it’s me who is not there
The aroma of my bakings will be forgotten
The striking coldness will haunt my oven
My mailbox will ask the mailman for his friend
Then an obituary will tell them about the end
On my front porch my hammock will stretch and whisper to the oak tree
Where? Where is she?
And they will feel the answer in the air
As everything remains unchanged
But it’s me who is no longer there
Iam no longer there with you
To watch you walk the aisle and sway
I will not hear you say “I do”
I will not see you throw the bouquet
I won’t hear you being called mommy
I won’t see your hair turn grey
I will not pose with you in your cap and gown
I will not see you glowing in your prom day
Iam gone... a far way too long
And I only wish that I could longer stay
Please promise me..
with words and with the unspoken
Make a vow that can’t be broken
That You won’t feel abandoned
For I wasn’t given a choice and didn’t have a say
I was taken without my consent cause my earthly visit was done, and couldn’t forever stay
I felt the separation pain
I packed my aches in silence and travelled that destined way
I know you’ll miss me and when you do Come visit me where I lay
share with me a great moment or a bad day
Let me know you didn’t forget me
Kneel down close to my stone and let me hear you pray
It’s true that I’m no longer here
But with you my heart will forever stay
Piaciuto o affrontato da...
