Silence in the hallway
Footsteps down the stairs
Sneaking out at midnight
No one knows she’s there
“Listen to me, won’t you!”
I scream to deafened ears
All alone I’m crying
These unshedable tears
Lost in circumstances
Unseen in her youth
Never saw me crying
“I still love you”
Alone in pain and silence
I cry, “I need you, please!”
No one knows the difference
As I fall down on my knees
My God, just where were you
When she held that knife in hand?
Where were you when we
Vowed our friendship in the sands?
Where were you when bloodshed
Took over both our lives?
Where were you the night I cried
And begged you for her life?
Why did she leave, dear God?
Why’d she cause such pain?
Why couldn’t I stop her, Lord?
Instead of standing in the rain
I watched her leave in silence
She never knew my tears
God whispers in the darkness
“I’ve always been right here”
