The break of a new day

But the sky's still black

I don't know if you're ever coming back

It eats me away, but I don a smile

Hoping you'll only be gone for a while

But every day the wait goes on

And I think of you

Withering petals

A flower not bloomed

The sunshine can't reach you

Through these clouds between us

It's sapping my strength away

To say that we've lost

But the distance between us is a chasm at best

Your heartbeat is cold now within my chest

***** glass, break the glass, please find your way out

And come back to me

All I can do is shout

When those black clouds evaporate

I'll find you again
Light one last cigarette, I'll breathe you in

Your breath still smells of bleach

Razor kisses adorn your arms

Like a thousand roads that navigated you through life's harms

But they don't seem to stretch on beyond those bars

So you sit and decay silently, listening to passing cars

And I sit here, so numb in the comfort of the loneliness

Feeling helpless to help now, I've got only this

All I have is this keyboard to type from my heart

But it can't freeze the flame that's been there from the start.
