Outside Looking In

Where are you now?
It feels like we are continents apart
I’ve given all I had yet I’m still lost
My reassuring words fell on deaf ears
You’ve given in to fear
Where have I gone?
What was before has all been washed away
A barrier constructed by your doubt
No vows that I could hope now to maintain
You’ve severed all the chains
Where are you now?
When I am out here calling out your name
Where are you now?
When silence is all that will still remain
Where are you now?
When darkness comes to overtake the day
Where are you now, where are you now?
What can I do?
I’ve saved my every hope but nothing’s won
You turned your back on everything we had
Returning to the love you claimed had died
My faith is swept aside
What would have been?
If trust between us had been in our hearts
Becoming what we wished would be a start
I’d have a chance to witness what we are
I thought we’d come so far
