Where Have You Gone?

I looked for an elf, could find him nowhere
checked under the desk, and under the chair
'Round the dark corners of cluttered mind
and even attempted to rip apart time

Defeated, heart-broken, head sadly hung
you bastard elf, where have you gone?!

Gone Elf

Between Alpha and Omega you will find the Elf, otherwise try looking at yourself, You will see him hanging on to the very one you are, even the word brings him close to you, as he is there laughing and signing off as Yours Elf, LA La la. Cute little write, Yours Ian.T (Not Elf)
