Life is bleak without you The days are dark and long and cold I wish for the earth to swallow me whole Because at least we’d be together in the afterlife
I miss you even when you’re across the room We are not Romeo and Juliet We are not Montague and Capulet
And yet there are mountains that drive us apart Do you know that in my heart There’s a special home, waiting for you Put down your coat, kick off your shoes Make yourself comfortable in my life
If misery loves company, then I’m its wife
My mind is an ocean split in two And you are Moses, right in the middle Commanding my every move
Sometimes the wind whispers your name to me
It’s so easy to feel lonely in this city
I am Sisyphus, pushing the weight of this heartbreak up a hill Every step you take back into my life propels the rock back down the valley, until I put myself together again The Gods are punishing me
Artists are not supposed to have a happy ending They suffer, they’re tortured A writer’s tears wield awards The misery of their struggles Bring praise from literary fans who adore, them and I guess I should thank you For the streams of tears That will spin my writing into a river of gold
When my anxiety keeps my breath captive I think about the way your hand caresses the steering wheel And how you played with my hair when you thought I was sleeping It’s miserable living life in memories of you And I hate you for being so incomparable That despite the interest I find in others I’ll walk through life alone, in search of mere reflections of you
