When I drive by I see some things that couldn't be further away. <br />A place where every emotion I've ever felt was created. <br />A vision of a happiness I once had. <br />The hallways echo with the laughter of my siblings and myself. Permanent footprints of love and compassion experienced over all of those precious years. <br /> <br />Memories of home are now only fragments, <br />born underwater, very little have i heard from my father. <br />I didnt know that this would affect me later in life, but i wish i couldve fixed it. <br />All i wanted, was to make you happy. <br />And to this day i will never know why you left him <br />I try harder, everyday to be closer, but theres still a missing piece <br />A piece of the puzzle that should connect everything, but that piece is gone. That piece is forever gone. <br />And now i wander through life, wondering what is right and what is wrong, without guidance. Its truly hard <br />Now barely a word is spoken, i long for the memories that i hoped to share with you. But those memories have faded into nothing, those memories have faded into nothing. <br /> <br />The spirit of my youth continues to walk the halls. <br />A constant reminder that things weren't alwas as shitty as they are now
