Ten
years…
ten
long
years.
Everything
feels
different
now.
I’
m
just
waiting
in
the
silence.
I
remember
the
day
you
walked
out
of
that
school
gate
The
afternoon
sun
was
heavy,
leave
it
to
fate
You
were
bright-eyed,
laughing,
looking
at
the
sky
I
never
imagined
that
would
be
our
last
goodbye
The
years
turned
to
seasons,
the
seasons
turned
to
dust
I
held
onto
memories,
a
fragile
kind
of
trust
I’
ve
searched
every
corner,
I’
ve
asked
every
friend
But
the
path
leads
to
nothing,
a
broken
dead
end.
Akissa,
tell
me,
where
did
you
go?
I’
m
drowning
in
shadows,
I’
m
moving
too
slow
Ten
years
of
silence,
the
weight
is
too
deep
I’
m
lost
in
the
promises
we
couldn’
t
keep
Akissa,
the
garden
is
withered
and
grey
I’
m
waiting
for
whispers
to
show
me
the
way
But
the
road
is
abandoned,
the
stars
have
gone
dim
And
I’
m
just
a
ghost
in
the
light
of
your
whim.
There’
s
a
chair
in
the
corner
where
you
used
to
sit
The
walls
hold
the
echoes,
I’
m
losing
my
wit
I
see
you
in
strangers,
I
turn
every
head
But
it’
s
only
the
ghosts
of
the
words
that
you
said
I’
ve
walked
past
the
schoolhouse
a
thousand
times
more
Staring
at
windows,
knocking
at
every
door
But
the
hallways
are
empty,
the
laughter
has
fled
And
I’
m
left
with
the
questions
inside
of
my
head.
Akissa,
tell
me,
where
did
you
go?
I’
m
drowning
in
shadows,
I’
m
moving
too
slow
Ten
years
of
silence,
the
weight
is
too
deep
I’
m
lost
in
the
promises
we
couldn’
t
keep
Akissa,
the
garden
is
withered
and
grey
I’
m
waiting
for
whispers
to
show
me
the
way
But
the
road
is
abandoned,
the
stars
have
gone
dim
And
I’
m
just
a
ghost
in
the
light
of
your
whim.
And
our
child,
she
asks
me, "
Where
is
she
now?"
She
traces
your
picture,
she’
s
forgotten
your
brow
How
do
I
tell
her
that
love
turned
to
stone?
How
do
I
explain
why
we’
re
living
alone?
She’
s
missing
your
touch,
she’
s
missing
your
song
She
wonders
why
mommy
has
been
gone
so
long.
Akissa,
tell
me,
where
did
you
go?
I’
m
drowning
in
shadows,
I’
m
moving
too
slow
Ten
years
of
silence,
the
weight
is
too
deep
I’
m
lost
in
the
promises
we
couldn’
t
keep
Akissa,
the
garden
is
withered
and
grey
I’
m
waiting
for
whispers
to
show
me
the
way
But
the
road
is
abandoned,
the
stars
have
gone
dim
And
I’
m
just
a
ghost
in
the
light
of
your
whim.
Come
back
home,
Akissa.
The
door
is
still
open.
Our
child
is
waiting.
Ten
years
is
enough…
just
come
back
home. (
