where r u



where are you?

we needed you
yet you...
you just left without a word.
we needed you
but for years you went unheard.

 you'd rather watch from a far,
while "we" get passed around like used cars.
from one owner to the next,
last name in the end pleading no context.

you'd rather watch from the view of a bird,
Sporadic visits of runny milky turds.
unconditional, love not enough?
old life too hard, future too tough?

we needed you
yet you...
left without a word
we needed you
but for years you went unheard.

words slurred, visions blurred
confused to no end
our tireless mission now
is to fill your spot with a special friend.

...where are you?
