Here we are
living 1000 miles apart
Not an inch away
In the soul

Threads in the yarn of connections loosing each day
No one can be compared to you
Lame is your middle name
No idea how is your life pouring
No idea how much fun you are having
Without me

Each other's secrets
Guarded in each other's pandora box
Everything known from first names to first crush

The way you bob your head side to side
While dancing and snapping fingers
The way you brought muffins for breakfast every day
No matter what
The way you shook the chalk while writing on the chalkboard looking for ink
I find every dumbest thing you've done funny, Nigeria

I scream but there's no one to listen
I shiver but there's no one with a comforter
I cry but there's no one with a tissue
I feel pain  but there's no one to soothe it away
Everyone's here to just twist the knife deeper in the gut
Being left alone with no shoulder to lean on is the worst thing
Living in this world is even worse

You wrapped yourself
Over my soul
Like the feeble vine
Climbing a wall

White were you
When you creeped up
And I melted you day by day

I anchored you
In the times of need
Never letting you lean down

Little did I feel
How tight you grew around
Till you squeezed the life out of me

Standing on the desert street
Under the blinking lamppost
In the moonless night
I screamed agony

Drenched in the july rain
Glistening water from my eyes rolled down my cheeks
I stood, shivering of loneliness
Yelping from loss, which was music to deaf that day

Salty water now mixed with nature
Not sure if you could differentiate
You wouldn't care for you left me
Like a kid deprived of candy

You took a part of me away from myself
And made it yours, I thought
I was proved wrong
when I saw no trace of me in you
Either way i had lost myself
Years after searching, oh, there I saw a piece of me
Under the soles of your shoes

I want to sleep
And never wake up

The demons are back
To give bags under eyes
To make me yelp
The demons are back

Tall shadows circle whispering
Monster hidden beneath the bed cries
Tick tok of clock echoes softly
Waving curtains wail

Time for me to hide
Under the covers
River of tears on the pillow
Wont stop them

The demons are back
To give bags under eyes
To make me yelp
The demons are back
