Where Have You Gone?

Where have you gone?
Your light shone
So bright
Is it no longer on?

I know you’ve been feeling strange of late
In the pit of your stomach, an ache
Crawling under you skin at night
Do you really just want a break?

From us, just tell me
I’ll understand
Just help me
To know what you’ve planned

As the last time we spoke
You said you’d be fine
“Unless I die”
What’s going on in your mind?

Your stomach would ache
And I’d hold you near
You’d been using a lot
That was quite clear

Then you never came back
Just a void, full of black
Where you used to be
Just you and me

Where have you gone?
Are you okay?
Will I see you again?
I love you, my friend
