Come and Gone

-Come and Gone-
by Keaton Foster



She’s dead
Whereas
I’m alive
She’s gone
And
I’m right here
So alone
Skin and bones
The hunger
Oh how
Does it grow
The ache
It burns
The idea
It does surge
They’ll never be another
One so loved by me
One so in love with me
I’m always gonna be
Without
Standing right here
All by myself
As the world around
Further crashes down
Come and gone
A beautiful song
Played out of tune
Realities twisted rule
Those so loved
Taken away
Those whom remain
Increasingly
We are in pain
Wondering why
How come
Did God do this
Why would he
Does he even care
Our faith
Will not be spared
A mountain of doubt
Darkness not without
A torrent sea of feelings
Will of course be building
A mountain of failures
Will climb to the heavens
The broken back of belief
Will leave those of us crippled
No amount of hope
Will ever straighten our spine
Come and gone
What once was
Is no more
What once made us whole
Will leave us incomplete
I understand the rules
Know the game
Because I am in that place
I’ve been here for years
Never easier has it been
Losing those that I loved
And in returned loved me
Never will it make any sense
Never will I find any peace
If death is the release
Then living like this
Is a prison meant to keep
Come and gone
I’ll never escape
Until escape
Is all that I have left…
