You left. I won't forget how empty my hands felt Or the bottles I grabbed to fill them I had to drive through the valley of our silence And my ears never bled so much I have punctured knees and bruised hands from begging And all that's left of my hope is the dust between my fingers Days move along but time is still And the clocks tick louder in the dark But I've learned that shadows only exist when there's light So I found comfort in the black Where I can't see my existence I can't see your absence And all I can feel is the cold floor on my hollow chest God **** I need to feel you now. I'd have a better chance breathing with collapsed lungs But I'd use my last breath to tell you to stay. Please stay.
