Missing

MISSING
Today she walked into your room  
And saw your empty chair
It has not sunk in yet
That you are no longer there
 
She thinks of the good times you had
Your laughter and your smile
Your kindness and affection
Your inimitable style
 
You were never one to judge
Treated everyone the same
When someone had a problem
It was to you they always came
 
Always a good listener
A true and loyal friend
All who encountered you
Knew on you they could depend
 
Six months have passed, Six long long months
No-one knows where you went
Your bank account has not been touched
Not one penny has been spent
 
Are you living on the streets?
Have you changed your name?
Did someone else commit a crime
And you thought you'd get the blame?
 
Did you have an argument
Or is it money that you owe?
Did you feel afraid or threatened
Why, oh why did you go?
 
A missing person ad on Facebook  
Has had five thousand views
Members of your family  
Have appealed on tv news
 
You may have seen your face
On a newspaper today
Please contact someone if your able
Let someone know you are ok
 
The room's you way you left it
But without you it looks bare
Your mum's greatest wish is to look in
And see you sitting in that chair
