Every time I close my eyes
I hear your bittersweet good byes.
And every time I see your eyes
my very soul burns
and yearns
for the days
when I didn't have to be locked in a haze
to keep you off of my mind for all my nights and days.
I miss you.
How I wish to kiss you
and go back to the times when i rocked you.
My heart upon you it's locked.
At night I lay awake
wishing I never made a mistake.
Wishing that all the times we said it would get better
and I forced you to wait
out the weather actually just once made it less wetter
with the rain
that falls from your eyes. Pain.
What horrifying madness yet one that I must suffer in vain
because you've left home again
and this time I fear never to return. 
So hear I lay I'm bed as I said with my heart for you that witch it yearn.
Dear god help me learn
to be a better man
and bring back the only woman
I could truly love.
The only one I can peacefully dream of. The one who can make my heart sore like a dove
and sore with a now unrequited love.
