What are you up to now?
Where have you gone?
I miss your radiant smile
Lips glistening in the sun.
Have you thought about me?
Just once over the years?
I've thought of you
Through all my dried tears
It's hard to find purpose
I have little to give
You never had that problem
You knew how to live
Is it all my fault?
That you've gone and ran?
If only I could try again
In another place
Have a second chance
You brought light to my life
You were my escape
Gone now, I'm far away
I'm left with bitter hate
I don't like the mirror
It reflects nothing
Just a worthless husk
I can't feel anything
Won't you come back?
If only for a little?
And bring in that light
If only a flicker
Is it all my fault?
That you've gone and ran?
I'm so helpless without
And so tired
I just want a second chance
I'm losing myself, finale
23 years wasted
Giving up is the easy bit
Losing you, same can't be said
Why did we have to grow up?
And go our seperate paths?
I'm lost without a reason
I just want to go back
I sit here in isolation
Hugging a loaded nine
In my thoughts is reason
And you by my side
Is it all my fault?
That you've gone and ran?
I miss our innocence
And that warmth
Give me a second chance
Is it all my fault?
That you've gone and ran?
I'll do better with life
I promise I'll try
I need a second chance

- Comment from author about the poem: While at work, I was reflecting on how much I have changed over the years. Age, personality, music. Gone are the days is me listening to Nickelback, baby we are on that Avenged Sevenfold and Nine Inch Nails grindset! \r\nWell, one of those things I thought about was how little worry I had as a child. All that innocence, playing at the local creek and total tomfoolery I got myself into. Nostalgia hurts, but its nice to reflect on simpler times while I sort out the more difficult parts of my adult life. I just wonder if that happiness I had as a child is really gone, or if maybe its there somewhere. Who even knows anymore.\r\nWhatever the answer is, atleast making this poem was incredibly comforting and therapeutic. So, cheers to that lads. 🤘
