Missing

Please, please forgive me
But I won’t be home again
Maybe someday you’ll have woke up
And, barely conscious
You’ll say to no one:
Isn’t something missing?
You won’t cry for my absence, I know —
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn’t something missing?
Isn’t someone missing me?
Even though I’d be sacrificed
You won’t try for me, not now
Though I’d die to know you love me
I’m all alone isn’t someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me
But I won’t be home again
I know what you do to yourself
Shudder deep and cry out:
Isn’t something missing?
Isn’t someone missing me?
Even though I’d be sacrificed
You won’t try for me, not now
Though I’d die to know you love me
I’m all alone isn’t someone missing me?
And if I bleed, I’ll bleed
Knowing you don’t care
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there
Isn’t something missing?
Even though I’d be sacrificed
You won’t try for me, not now
Though I’d die to know you love me
I’m all alone isn’t someone missing me?
