Where are you?

As months turn into years,
My eyes became dry,
They ran out of tears.

When days were counting down,
The end of first year,
I could still hear the screams,
No one could hear.

When the second year passed,
I thought you'd be back,
But you never did come,
Who would've guessed.

Three in a row,
The joke is on me,
When the fourth year comes,
I'll set myself free.

The fourth year came,
Yet I'm still here,
Where are you,
Where are you my dear.
