The sun goes down.

I start to drown.

My hopes melt down

For you’re not there.

I wonder why,

And start to cry,

And wish I’d die,

For you’re not there.

Another day crossed,

Another dream lost…

This eternal frost 

That chills each prayer.

I dig down deep,

And try to sleep,

These tears I weep 

Wash out this stare…

But I don’t care,

For you’re not there…

You’re not there.

 

The birds sing out.

I wake in doubt,

My soul in drought

With you not there.

My future crawls

Through empty halls.

Ambition stalls 

With you not there.

The things I cleave!
