Choking on emptiness When you need someone so much When you wish to hold them so much But they're so far away And your heart⦠It constricts with longing and fear and love and you miss them so much And you're not complete when they are Absent. Absent is awful They are alive, they are somewhere but They are not with you They are present somewhere you are not And it breaks my heart because she is absent from my life But present in somebody else's It's a choice they made A priority they took And you didn't win. Once again you're at the back And you're nobody's precious person You have no one to be present for You have no one to be absent from You are just here For yourself.
