Gone.

Whens it gonna be the point in time when you realise

The damage youve brought and the memories youve lost

Mindless devotion of a child jabbering on about

The beauty and innocence that you can no longer see

Hoping and praying that youll just be there for once

For once just pick up a telephone and pretend not to hurt

Letting the baby on the other end feel like a human being

A change, a definite change in the mundane routine

Of feeling like a stranger in one's own skin

A centimeter would stretch for miles

If you could just realise I was once your child.

This is immensely powerful.

A change, a definite change in the mundane routine
Of feeling like a stranger in one's own skin
A centimeter would stretch for miles

The emotion behind this, especially these last four lines, is amazing. Wonderful.

This is good, really hits right on the emotion. My dad lives thousands of miles away, and all I ever hear from him when he answers the phone once in a few months, is everything thats wrong with him and how he needs help. I think this piece really portrays this situation.
