Where have they gone? Why have they gone? I cannot see what was forgone Wasting my time in this cramped place Where have they gone? Am I all alone? I watch as the time goes by, I see them slip away But we can't see from the other side I feel all alone Lillie, the youngest and bravest sibling Why do you sit here in this lonely bedroom? And why don't you see us when we come and visit? We used to be so close before, and then you locked yourself away I'm not lonely here I'm trying to work and I'm trying to live on these poems I once wrote for you If that's not enough then I can't help you here! And I can't understand how we've gotten here You wouldn't listen to us Now, I can see why you left this big hole in my chest I want you to remember that I worked so hard just for you Then why do you have to push me out? And then, distance is created I have tried so hard to make this work But there's only so much that I can do This sickness has made me feel this way I just can't express myself My life feels so meaningless When we used to live together We would laugh until the sun set on us Now that he has turned his back to me It feels like I'm losing him to the moon Love is neither earned, nor is it an entitlement But for those who are fortunate to receive it must cherish it and give back For it may be the last opportunity to do so Cynthia, the eldest and toughest sibling Why do you sit here in this lonely bedroom? And why don't you see us when we come and visit? I've tried almost everything so why don't you just get up from your chair? I've had enough of everything you have put us through! Don't you understand? You've always had to drag me down when we were all alone I couldn't take it anymore Why don't you listen? Why don't you see? Why must you argue with me? Why don't you leave? I can't watch you do this Just let me in I'm sick of the sight of you now Just go away!
