My heart turns to dust
All he left me was a picture
I can feel it when he's near
Shadows of his ghost
reflect on the wall
I turn around and he's
already lost in the crevicesΒ Β of the paint
Tears roll down my face
For I've been left in this horrid place
He roams free above the skies
and the white fluffy clouds
I ask "please take me for a ride"
For all you've left me
was a picture and your pride.
