After they've left
In those quiet moments
when you are left alone,
your mind ever wandering,
in the barren cold.
The thoughts that drift up from the dark,
and lonely parts of you...
Hurt the most within your heart
and leave you broken too.
Clouds of gray gather round your shoulders, still,
and press upon your fragile body
making you feel ill
And in those horrid moments, you feel the emptiness grow
nothing there to hold you and save you from the low
And in that cold and barren cavern
does your sad mind sit.
Alone and ever wanting, waiting to be fixed.
The flame of hope dies in your chest
as you sink into despair
And soon you hope that nothing ever actually finds you there
And at that point you know you've lost
you release a grievous sigh,
a single tear upon your cheek
as you begin to cry.
The sobs, they wrack your whole being and throw you to and fro,
Until you're left, a shattered carcass up against the wall.
Finally you can close your eyes and leave behind the day
And hope that dreams will take you... oh so far away.
