Missing

Years gone by and still I don’t know
Did you walk or were you forced to?
Empty home with no note to declare
It seems like so many got over despair
Simply returned to the ways of old
Not quite sure when everyone turned so cold

Yet, I still wonder what went down
I’d have been blind not to see your frown
Sadness etched into such a pretty face
Was your life turned to disgrace?
These are some of the words I’d say to you
Maybe these are things you already know

To make matters worse no one speaks your name
It’s like it’s been extracted from their brain
Still I refuse to join in with the crowd
I will remember and mention you loud and proud
Bring you up despite the angry swathe of glares
If they want it to stop they should show they cared
