Gone and Lost

Gone and Lost

I thought that if I held on tight enough you’d never leave

But still you managed to slip through my fingers

Now we talk but don’t ever say anything

And your memories how they linger

I tried to keep you close to me

By keeping you in my head

But now you’ve gone so far away

There are others in your bed

I still hold on to memories

Nights I wished would never end

I keep your picture  burned in my brain

But now I can’t pretend

That I have moved on at all

Because I hold onto your ghost

But that too is fading with every night

Until you’ll be gone and lost
