Missing You
I sit here
Staring at the walls of my plain room
Missing you
Wondering when you'll be home
Wondering when I can see you again
Thinking about how isolated you must feel in that cell of dread
Each day the same
Every hour wasted
By a crime you didn't commit
But you still pleaded guilty
Tears down my face as I watch you get taken away
Year after year on my birthday
Gone
Deprived of the father I grew up without
My siblings can't hold it in as well as I can
I sit here
Hoping to see you again
Oh, how the yearshave passed
It has felt as though you've only been gone for months
But it's been years
They say "times flys when you're having fun"
But why don't we say "time flys when you hold in the pain"
It's all stored up
But it still hurts
Tears
Why did you plead guilty
I can't keep holding on like this
It's too much
When do you let go
When do you tell yourself its okay
How long am I going to pretend that I'm okay
I need to let it out
I want to be free
To let it out
Whose side do I choose
Their side or his
My thoughts of him spinning in my head like a tornado
Who do I believe
I sit here
Staring at the walls of my plain room
Missing you
