The light faded from my eyes,
I swallowed hard...
Letting the tears
Sting my eyes as they flowed.

Listening to your voice on the other end,
I muffled a sob.
I cant let you know im weak.

Weak as in,
I still crave to hear your voice.
I still crave to see your face.

I've tried to move on,
But you still live in the dark space in my mind.
And you hold my heart there.

Just listening to you speak,
My heart beats slow,
At the pace of the clock.
