A Separate Road

Today in my youth the skies are swollen,

Heavy with confusion and dread

And as of now, rain clouds are roaming,

Almost as lost as the people below them.

Where are you now in the midst of the storm?

Why did you leave and where did you go?

Are you lost, traveling, lonely? Or have you found a separate road?

I can taste sunshine

Ripe in the moment, bitter yet sweet

The memories we shared

But then came the autumn

Discreetly she stole them

She left me alone to freeze in her air.

Where are you now in the midst of the storm?

Why did you leave and where did you go?

Are you lost, traveling, lonely? Or have you found a separate road?

The days fade to spring.

The sun ablaze as it blinded my eyes,

But in that moment the sun wouldn't set.

It never would until the day that you left.

Do you walk those same tracks;

The path we promised to take together?

I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside my walls.

Where are you now in the midst of the storm?

Why did you leave and where did you go?

Are you lost, traveling, lonely? Or have you found a separate road?

Are you lost? Traveling? Lonely? Or have you found a separate road?
