Where did you go

Given a measure of time

Ripped from the world

Where did you go

Your body was broken

Torn apart

Like my life after

I needed a new start

At the bottom of every bottle

You were still with me

I tried to forget you

The pain was too deep

Dishonored and shamed

I drank to forget you

Where did you go

Years went by

Love I could not sow

I saw you there

Cold and alone

My heart was splintered

Pain so deep

Only my Soul could know

The groans of my spirit

All that was left

I fell to my knees and wept

Where did you go
