Absence Destroys What Heart You Have Left
The light in your eyes is gone
Like you’re fading from the inside
Weaker smiles dripping apathy
Twitching fingers long to hide
I hurt like that here
You burn in it there
I’d kill for it here
You’d never dare
I am a blazing canvas
Wiped clean in the worst way
Bleached out my veins
The pain breaks when your away
You hurt like that there
I burn in it here
You’d never dare
I’d kill to be near
Swallowed by absence
In deep fire mornings
Struggling with the singular
Heartbeat, lifestyle, yearnings
We hurt like that here
We burn in it there
I’d kill for it here
As long as you care
