Alone, afraid
The world has changed
Winter never seems to pass
But in the gloom
Of a lost igloo
I remember my past
*
A past where warm sunshine
Would caress my face
Leaving it red and burned
But friends would smile
Laughing all day
Meeting in the place we learned
*
No pain, no tears
Due to the sadness
Of all the lost faces
Just giggles and snorts
Happiness abounding
Knowing no one could ever replace us
*
Now see where we stand
Half a world apart
Never speaking nor seeing
Only memories hold us together
But is that enough
For our spiritual being
*
Still we smile and laugh
Disguising the pain
That grows in the darkness inside
We forget, move on
Never discuss
Memories left to hide
*
But I reach to you
Wonder what you would do
If I was still there beside you
Would you laugh and play
Show me the way
Or ignore my presence next to you
*
I guess it matters not
You are there and I am here
And please don't be mistaken
I am not miserable
Nor do i seek your pity
I just wish people didn't have to be taken
*
Be good to your friends now
I only ask that you remember
Though I may not be physically there
I always root for, at every game
And am there for you at every obstacle
You were always there for me so I guess it's only fair
*
Surrounded and brave
That's how I feel now
Oh, how the world changes
And my best buddies remain in my heart
Their spiritual touch soothing me
Preparing me for whatever life's game is
