Not Coming Home
Well the souls you touched
 Won't easily be forgotten
 But the hearts you broke,
 Their names, they fade away
 Lost in the sea of "forever" and "always".
 And everytime I see your picture
 The memories are so clear.
 And everytime I see your picture
 Feelings of guilt overcome me
 Because smiling back at me are
 Two children with expressions rarely seen
 Their faces, they're filled with radiance and joy
 Rather reminiscent of my dreams,
 Don't you think?
 Well the memories they flash back and
 They don't match the photographs,
 Parent's fight and children cry
 And you're already gone.
 And the days flash by and so do the reasons why,
 I don't see you anymore.
 And I miss you now
 And I wonder how it
 Took me five years to realize that
 You were everything to me.
 With the sunsets and silent nights,
 Comes the sad realization why
 I've never felt so alone.
 And you're not home
 You're not coming back
 Memories fade to black and
 The setting closes on a childhood that
 Never was and never will be.
