What Gone Really Means

(Jeff Nich.)
December 15, 2011
written by Jeff Nicholson

He's gone
Just like this shattered glass scattered in the black, gone
My heart
Tumbles to the floor with all these pieces of a world I can't see
I've heard many stories
And sometimes I believed
But now I know what gone really means

I can't find the light switch
Or any sense at all
Nowhere to run to
Guess I'll try to crawl
Oh my God, I'd say, if I could pray
I once believed
But now I know what gone really means

I thought I understood
About this circle we are weaving
I thought that I could take the call
And still continue breathing
What I thought took all eternity
Took just a moment to reveal
And now I know how gone really feels

Maybe in the morning I'll wake and find some light
To help me understand what falls out of the sky
And maybe when I'm mourning I'll finally see the light
Maybe it's all a miracle
This flyby life
Or maybe I'll just let go
And follow
It seems
That now I know what gone really means

Well, oh my God, I'd say, if I could pray
But he's gone
And now I know what gone really means
