Disappear
I pick up the phone and dial your number,
I hear a voice, it's not yours, it's the operator.
Telling me this number is out of service,
And I simply can't deal with this.
It's been far too long since we last spoke,
If I knew where you were I'd leave a note.
I would have understood if you would have just told me,
That all you wanted was to be free.
One day you decided to quickly disappear,
Never looked back, not a single tear.
To this day, I wish you would have stuck around,
Then maybe I wouldn't always feel so down.
I'm constantly reminded that I didn't speak up,
I could have screamed and it could have been enough.
To keep you in my arms; that's where you belong,
Before I could tell you, you said, "So long."
On that horrific day I was consumed by my only fear;
I watched you fade and disappear.
It's like you never existed, not even a memory,
Do you ever wonder about the pain you've caused me?
I ask around but nobody has heard of you,
I show them a picture but they still have no clue.
Where did you go, and for how long?
I can't get used to the fact that you're gone.
I used to stay up late, but now I go to bed early,
No point in being awake if you're not here with me.
One day you decided to quickly disappear,
Never looked back, not a single tear.
To this day, I wish you would have stuck around,
Then maybe I wouldn't always feel so down.
I'm constantly reminded that I didn't speak up,
I could have screamed and it could have been enough.
To keep you in my arms; that's where you belong,
Before I could tell you, you said, "So long."
On that horrific day I was consumed by my only fear;
I watched you fade and disappear.
I pick up the phone and dial your number,
I hear a voice, it's not yours, it's the operator.
Telling me this number is out of service...
One day you decided to quickly disappear,
Never looked back, not a single tear.
