Throat is foggy
Arms are heavy
Eyes are slippery
Heart is whimpering
Nothing makes sense when I speak
Not without you near me
Where did you go?
Where is the boy I want to meet?
Are you holed up...
Fighting to not speak to me?
Or is this easy?
Believe me, for me
Everything is harder
Without you
I somehow lose height
And I didnt have any to begin with
How can I become smaller
You were the reason
I became taller
But now you've stolen
The pedestal you put me on
You've pushed me off
Brushed me aside
You stroked my ego
Until it was my time
To stroke yours
Then you pulled back
Like an elastic band
And I need bandages
Just to fight
The urge to hold your hand
My guard is up
My god its enough
To drive me up the wall
I am flying
In a rage
That I'm using
To cloak my sadness
Cos the images
Are rattling around my brain
Of you happy
Without the thought of my name
And I cant think beyond this pain
Beyond you
Theres nothing
Just darkness
A void
A crypt
A pit of despair
I hope you never
Get out of my hair
Cos I feel better around you
I cant lose you
Not today
Not tomorrow
And I'm hoping
Not for always
