Gone


My head

Inside is dead

 

My life

Can't stop this strife

 

My youth

Is traveling on

 

And where am I?

I would say gone

But gone is too long

To let go of 

All that belongs to me

 

My ex

I still love him

 

My sister

I miss her

 

My life

I don't understand it

 

But I won't be gone

Because I can't let go

Of all I believe in

 

Even if it's wrong

Even if it hurts

Even if I feel like

I'm slowly dying

 

I must go on

I need to show them

That I can be someone

Someone who won't let gone take her away

 

I can be more than gone
