Gone

What once was, is now gone. Will it ever come back?
The joy, happiness, and laughter has left, and is not looking back.
This heart, an empty abyss, longing to be filled again.
Searching for that which once was.
Will things ever be as good as they once were?
Only time will tell.
What lies in store, for you and I?
This bitter story unfolding before our eyes.
