In the Shadows

the other side

It's 2am

I'm curled up in a ball

Smoke fills the air and my lungs

A picture of you in my hand

And an empty bottle in the other

I cry out your name into the night

Hoping that you could hear me

Even on the other side

Because now you have everyone

Everyone you love as company

Except for me

But I'll be there soon

And I'm hoping you'll wait

Until I close my eyes

And reach the other side
