Did You Ever...

Did you ever miss
Your life from long ago?
The storms constantly
Came and went.
Have you ever
Taken the time to look?

Did you ever realize
The extent to which
Your words could hurt?
Soon enough,
I hardly felt
Anything anymore.

Did you ever see
The things you missed out on?
Everyday, you watched the calendar.
The days never ceased to change.
Did you ever wonder
Where they went?

Did you ever understand
What your life meant?
Days went up and down.
Light to dark.
But somehow, you continued
To stand tall.

Did you ever...?
Did you ever...?
