Open the gate
An empty spot without your car
Dew droplets fresh
Tyre treads left on the dirt

The smell of you still lingers in the air
Dampened by the scent of the unfamiliar
Pushing it into the walls
And staining the floor

No sound of laughing, everything's changed
The mosquito net left dangling on a hook
The dust will finally settle
In another empty room in an empty house

And when I come back "home"
And sit where you sat
Light a match
And engulf the iron *** with searing flames

I get thrown into the insanity over again
Without the pillar of light
Guiding through all the nuisances
Guiding me through the night

And if to once again inevitably stray
And falter off the path
Will you be there to pull me onto the road
And back into the day...
