Far away, in my head,

I hold to everything.

One more time to regret,

trying to find a reason.

I'll never miss a tear,

I'll never miss a touch.

Help me rest,

make me sleep,

take me with you.

Long ago, when you left,

everything seemed to change.

These empty rooms would feel

as if they held your presence.

But how long will I have

to lie awake and restless?
