Gone Away but Why Not Stay

            Once upon a time

            You and I

            Close in ties

            Bond and all

           

            Close we were

            Till lightning struck

            Divided we became

            Lost at sea

           

            Our relations decayed

            Talking became whispers

            Love became memories

            Our future turned white

           

            Fogged by deception

            Corrupted by witchcraft

            Some more than others

            Time rolled in decades

           

            I remember your beauty

            I remember our friendship

            Now you’re a ghost

            Hollow and subsistent

           

            Only in my fantasies

            Flashbacks come round

            Reminding me

            Gone away but why not stay

 

            I remember, you were afraid
