Missing

Flotsam And Jetsam

If it were oh just gone

If it just wasn't there

Would I disappear

Would I even care

Avoid in the arrangement

A blindspot in my mind

A space in what's important

A black hole of some kind



It walks right beside me

Invisible to most

Not an apparition not the holy ghost



Sdumble two another day

Not knowing what is wrong

Not stolen not lost or broken

Been missing for so long

Can't quite find it in me

Fading pulse can I survive

My heart fails me again

Flatlined

But still alive



It walks right beside me

Invisible to most

Not an apparition not the holy ghost



Dragging it behind me,

Can't hold on any more

Slips through my fingers

And scatters on the floor

It hovers right above me

As I move from door to door

When I hang my head in shame

It lies then on the floor



Searching for what I may never know

It's missing I can feel it

Can't just let it go

When I reach out

I can feel it!



It walks right beside me

Invisible to most

Not an apparition not the holy ghost



It hovers right above me

As I move from door to door

When I hang my head in shame

It lies there on the floor

Talks from inside me, silent to most

Not the voice of god

Not the only ghost

Dragging it behind me,

Can't hold on any more

Slips through my fingers

And scatters on the floor

It lies there on the floor

Missing
