Where Was I?
Where was I when you sang in tears?
When stomachaches gripped you alone
Where was I when you stared at me
And my eyes looked through, never there
I expected your anger and misconception
But where was I to help you understand?
Can time be a viable reason and reflection
To never show platitudes for all of those years?
I accept the sting from your diatribes
Even now, when regression has passed
Where was I to truly hold your heart?
When I couldn't take your love to mine?
No simple terms of apology
Could replace what I had taken
No gesture to heal, or to forget
And I know you have more inspiration
Where was I when my heart healed?
Still alone and shedding regret
Where will you be during all of it?
I hope living life to your fullest
