Where were you, when I needed you? <br />Where were you, when I suffered pain? <br />Where were you, when cold winds blew? <br />Where were you, when I went insane? <br /> <br />You were a million miles away, <br />Though you were there to see; <br />You caused me not to stay, <br />You caused me to run and flee. <br /> <br />Where were you, when I was lost? <br />Where were you, when time was running out? <br />Where were you, when love was tossed? <br />Where were you, when I was full of doubt? <br /> <br />You were fuming in your sleep, <br />You were a shadow on the wall; <br />Your indifference cut me deep, <br />As our love began its deadly fall. <br /> <br />Where were you, when I fell from grace? <br />Where were you, when it all came down? <br />Where were you, when there was no place? <br />Where were you, when my smile became a frown? <br /> <br />You were claiming God had talked to you, <br />You were hearing words I could not hear; <br />Did He tell you that your heart's untrue? <br />Did He tell you that I didn't want you near? <br /> <br />The uncertainty was killing me, <br />We were a pair no longer; <br />Once I was blind, now I can see, <br />And the hurt has only made me stronger.<br /><br />david lessard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-were-you-when-i-needed-you/
