Another one has disappeared And I could say that’s what I’d feared But I am truly long past fear And used to being lonely here

It’s telling how you judge me By taking one quick look Or maybe you begrudge me The leaps of faith I took You’ll never try

It is four in the morning My day ends without warning When the sun’s almost up Life’s an endless rotation And I lack motivation Others

Oh, I’m trying not to ponder All those moments blessed with wonder When your tiny heart still beat When your hand and mine would meet

Your pain is over Mine goes on You’re free now I am not Again my eyes feel hot It’s only me now Empty, sober You

I get it, you’ve been wronged It doesn’t make you right You’re keeping up a fight So needlessly prolonged No need to be so tough

I don’t mind being a name on your list Of people you kissed or brought pleasure Another adventure you treasure I don’t find a crowd

My instincts tell me to stay close While yours tell you to hide And to respect the cure you chose I can’t stay by your

Fingers caressing your temple Kisses slide up from your chin Silent you give an example Of how to quiver within Eyes and mouth closed, earlobes

You like me And you wish to ignite The same flame inside me That burns so bright Unlikely My heart is occupied
