Written On My Grave

by Unseen Exposure   May 19, 2004


Where were you the night my heart turned cold?
Where were you when my story went untold?
Where were you when my world tumbled down?
Where were you when life finally let me drown?
Where were you the night I went astray?
Did you have to turn your head and look away?
Sometimes I am nothing but a girl with that of a name,
Realizing life sometimes puts you to complete shame,
And still I wonder…
Where was he when life left me all alone?
Where was he when all stars lost their glow?
Where was he when I fell through solid ground?
Where was he when I screamed and made no sound?
Where was he when I could do nothing but hide?
Where was he when the girl inside me, died?
I understand that some things go without a choice,
But I am often the one left with a broken voice,
Yet I am wondering…
Why did they turn away from me and break my heart?
Why did they leave me standing there alone in the dark?
Why did they choose to walk away and not look back?
Why did they let everything we had fall off track?
Why did I believe and think it right for trust?
Why did I let myself agree to loving as a must?
Why did I follow them and pretend that I belonged?
Why did I fake the happiness when I knew all along?
Why did I meet him, and then decide to fall in love?
And why must he be perfect, but always push and shove?
One day he’ll wake up, and have a new girl to crave,
And when that day comes ‘Always and Forever, died’,
Will be written on my grave.
