Things Fall Apart - 3239 Smiley Rd

When I drive by I see some things that couldn't be further away.
A place where every emotion I've ever felt was created.
A vision of a happiness I once had.
The hallways echo with the laughter of my siblings and myself. Permanent footprints of love and compassion experienced over all of those precious years.

Memories of home are now only fragments.
Born under water, very little have I heard from my father.
I didn't know this would affect me later in life, but I wish I could have fixed it.

All I wanted was for you to be happy.
And to this day I will never know why you left him.
I try harder every day to be closer, but there is still a missing piece.
A piece of the puzzle that should connect everything.
That piece is gone, that piece is forever gone.
And now I wonder through life wondering what is right and what is wrong.
Without guidence its truly hard.
Now barely a word is spoken.
I long for the memories I once shared with you.
Those memories faded into nothing, those memories have faded into nothing.
The spirit of my youth continues to walk the halls.
A constant reminder that things weren't alwas as shitty as they are now
