NaPoWriMo 2019: Day 2: Where Are You: A Ballad for Gerry

Where are you, my darling one
With your eyes blue as the skies
And green as the faraway sea
When will you come home to me

Where are you, my dearest love
Floating like a dream through the world unseen
I didn't mean for things to go so wrong
You faded away like an old album's last song

Where are you, my heart's one hope
My angel from above who gave me all his love
I was so afraid of being used
My heart was broken and confused

Where are you, my sweet, lost dream
The one so unexpected who left my soul infected
I can't get you off of my mind
I need to see you one last time

Where are you, my shining star
My tears flow like the streams that wind throughout my dreams
I've finally learned to be strong
Enough to tell you I was wrong

Where are you now, my gentle ghost
I'd walk down the longest track just to take my cruel words back
My love for you is strong
You were so right and I was wrong

Where have you gone, my love?
Where have you gone?

To Gerry from Pepper

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
