I can hear my bones rattling With every labored breath I sink further just below the surface Of crystal clear water The drugs can’t quell the sadness Another sip of poison To erase the image Of your lips on hers My hands tremor constantly In the absence of yours The purity of loneliness Is only matched by The sharpness of pain One only feels when their soul mate Lies with another It is gut wrenching sadness Tainted with shame

Absence
I can hear my bones rattling With every labored breath I sink further just below the surface Of crystal clear water The drugs can’t quell the sadness Another sip of poison To erase the image Of your lips on hers My hands tremor constantly In the absence of yours The purity of loneliness Is only matched by The sharpness of pain One only feels when their soul mate Lies with another It is gut wrenching sadness Tainted with shame
