You Were Never There

You Were Never there


At night I sat and wonder
Just how some things can be?
And I try to understand
Everything I see.
Each night my pillow
 Is wet with lonely tears,
And I say to myself, do
 He understand what I feel?
 
When I struggle through life,
 I could never feel 
That you care.
 The days that I hurt inside
You were never there.
I push my way
 Through heart ache,
 Sadness, and pain,
When I needed you the most;
You left me standing
In the rain.
 
Cold and lonely nights
 I snuggle in bed
 While visions of you
Flash through my head.
 Did you see it in my eyes,
 And did you even care?
When I needed you
 The most, you 
Were never there.

I gave you a family 
 I made the perfect wife,
 I prayed hard for you
  Each and every night.
  I struggle with this pain,
In my own selfish way
And I dreamed every night
 That you would
 Somehow stay;

 Now the time has come 
 That I have to let go,
 It’s killing me inside,
More than you will ever know.
 When I look at your picture
 I can’t help but stare
The answer is plain and clear;
 You were never there.
