Gone

Everything seems to fall away
No matter how hard we try to hold on
It easily begins to slowly stray
Regardless of how close the bond

The only hope is that one day it shall return
Waiting on that day is pure pain
Maybe it will come back without a burn
Without the worry it will fade again

These tears that fall long for the past
Long for the moments that burned into my soul
Moments that I thought would always last
Yet a thief broke in and they were all stolen

Glimpses of hope and memories to smile by
Just sadden my heart and shatter it to pieces
Making me curl up to shake and cry
Appreciating and accepting those moments are on lease
