VANISHING

Vanishing from view
That is you
Where have you gone
Why did you leave...again

Here today maybe tomorrow
But you run from the future
So scared to be in the moment
To see where it will all go

Before it has even begun
Where has your heart lead you
Or was it just lust again
Not knowing the difference

From friends you rush away
To the latest lover
A crush to be sure
But too much intensity and you depart

Reappearing again when you need
Forgetting the needs of those around you
Trying hard to keep it together
Broken promises follow more of the same

Vanishing into thin air
You see your youth slipping away
So you chase it down in affairs
Looking for someone to prove yourself through

One day those you counted on to stay
They will be gone
One time too many you left
So now it is your friends who have moved on

Vanished from your view, from your life
Will you see, grow up
Accepting before it is too late
A love that surrounds you now
Before it is gone & another day dawns
Finding you gone
