Where Did You Go?




Where did you go? Once there was a time when life was full of light.

I trusted the world and the difference between wrong and right.

How fresh it was then, beauty in its raw and simple form.

That was before the rain and the betrayal of a fathers scorn.



Father, I don’t understand? Why did you show me this pain?

Do you hate me so that I must I feel it time and time again?

What did I do for you to rob me of my love and innocence?

Why must I summon the courage to end this pain so immense?



You don’t talk any more even when I listen so hard to hear

All I see is your back as I live my blackened life in fear.

I don’t want to die. All I want is my life with light to live.

Can you find it in your heart to remove the darkness and forgive?



Though I do not know exactly what I have done

Somehow I lost the love I had by rights as your son.

I turn to you this last time before I go

All I ask is for me your love to show.
