A Family Long Gone

It was a sorrowful day when this family... had to cut the cord

We weren't on the same page

We weren't... all on board

But you can be sure I have no axe to grind at all

It was circumstance or hit the wall

You can be sure I've been grinding

Till I'm grinding to a halt

We've been holding on hard ...but feelings got sore

Sometimes ...it's worth it, 

But sometimes... you wonder what for

I will miss the times when we were tight

And some of those the days, that felt so right

Although it seems so long ago

We... are gone, gone, gone

It was a good long run

And some day the clouds will clear for us

We all will see it brighter

There will be no regrets ...no not much

It 's all perspective

Some will say

One's death and One's wants

Let us astray

Everyone's journey is a bit different 

We all  want what's best

For the one's we love

But this story doesn't end up

Like other's speak of

  The emotions flared..opinons flew

Our family shattered

No one had the clue

And when we split.. lies were told
We knew the truth
And their shit got old

So we've gone our separate ways

Which isn't too bad

But.. again it's sure not the same

Like the memories we once had

And even those begin to fade and grow cold
And the one we loved
sits in a chair alone

Thinking of you Jean
