Left Behind

Why did you leave me behind
Or has she warped your mind?
I still have no clue

Trapped, yes, you must be trapped
But how can I find you
When you left me no map

Each day, I wait by the door
I see the trees change colors
But you still aren't there
May you hear this prayer
I hope that you're safe
And I hope I'll see you again
I wish that you could say
Why you had to run away
Am I the burden that I always thought I was?
Oh please, let me start anew
Dear brother, do you miss me too?

Each day, I write a new page
I wonder if you've changed, just as I have
Each day, I grow ever stronger
Becoming a man of my own

Each day, I gaze at the mask
An aching reminder of what's left behind
Each day, I put on the mask
And I stare at a face that's not my own
Not my own

Each day, I sit by the door
I see the trees change colors
Though you're still not there
I plead you hear my prayer
I hope that you're safe
And I hope I'll see you again
I wish that you could say
Why you had to run away
Was I the burden that I always thought I was?
Please, forgive me, I am human too

I'm sorry
Please, come home
