a lost soul

dear uncle

you are not who you used to be

you said you'd always be there

but now you had to flee

and now there is a tear

my heart will never be whole

about this I am sure

you are now a lost soul

and I must endure

a life with no one to trust

and a hope you will return

my anger may not be just

but our memories I will burn

in a fireplace of coal

for you I still pray

but you are a lost soul

I hope you return someday
