“Where Were You”

Where were you?


When all the detours on my road


Took so much away from me


And the melancholy of my life


Took my world away


   When brushed colors


Of horizon from afar


Splashed upon me


I wonder


Should “Dali” have the power?


To paint the colors of my heart


Where were you?


When the winds of life


Wanted to silent me


Where were you?


When thunder made me stronger


Where were you?


When the walls around me fell down


Where were you?


When time ran out on me


Just tell me


Where were you?


When I needed you


Past horizons and the seven seas


I searched for you


To find my heart at your feet


I walked past mountains high


Where rivers flow… high and low


When the moon faded away


Where were you?


While I was lying at your feet


In silence I walked alone


While the silence of my heart was yearning


Where were you?


When you turned around and walked away


And left me lying there…


Stepped upon…

Stepped upon…

I guess that was rhetorical?

Tinka, you have power in your words. This was so well written as much as it is sad. I have a huge lump in my throat and can relate to these sentiments. Keep on searching for that special love precious friend. It is out there. You deserve to be treated like a queen.

Please allow me to turn this into a song - it is sad, but too beautiful to not be turned into a song. Tinka, this touches me deeply. -- Jeff
