Last night, honey,
I needed you to hold me with your words
and steady me with your voice
like you used to
when I couldn't get a rest
from the aching in my head
and the aching in my heart
and my mom's coughing all night long
I needed you to hold me
tighter than you ever did
cause I was missing her coughing
something fierce
and I was missing your warmth
like winter
waking up to sickness was always bitter
but it was better
than waking up to silence
and last night was so quiet
like I was the only one on earth
---- so I just wanted to hear you ----
breathe my name
one more time
and hold me with your words
honey
lately you've been quieter than her
