Gone Too Long

I wait…

Through the dark, through the rain…

Where are you now?

(“come back…”)

It’s been forever since you disappeared,

Every shadow, every corner, I still feel you near.

I reach through dreams, but you slip away,

The nights are empty, and I’m wide awake.

(“don’t leave… don’t leave…”)

The world keeps spinning, but my heart stands still,

Every memory burns, every ache, every thrill.

I thought you’d stay, I thought you’d fight,

Now silence answers where you should’ve been tonight.

I miss you, masked in shadow, gone too long,

Every heartbeat hums your name like a song.

I’m lost in the spaces where you used to be,

Come back, come back, set me free.

(“come back… come back…”)

I see your smile flicker in the dark,

A ghost of comfort, a spark.

Your hands, your voice, a place to hide,

Now only echoes remain at my side.

(“where are you…”)

Time stretches cruel, it bends and tears,

I chase the wind, but you’re not there.

I hold onto fragments, I try to pretend,

But this longing knows it has no end.

I miss you, masked in shadow, gone too long,

Every heartbeat hums your name like a song.

I’m lost in the spaces where you used to be,

Come back, come back, set me free.

( “set me free… set me free…”)

Faded light, fractured sky,

I call your name, but no reply.

Haunted nights, silent screams,

You were the keeper of all my dreams.

( “don’t leave me here…”)

I miss you, masked in shadow, gone too long,

Every heartbeat hums your name like a song.

I’m lost in the spaces where you used to be,

Come back, come back, set me free.

(“gone too long… gone too long…”)
