Where Absence Sleeps
Being alone and feeling lonely too,
There’s nothing worse, they say, than that cold pair
My heart is not yet used to missing you.
You leave, and silence takes the room in lieu,
The echo of your voice hangs in the air
Being alone and feeling lonely too.
They say in jest, “you’re your own company, true,”
But some nights drag with far too much to bear.
My heart is not yet used to missing you.
Your absence paints the day in darker hue,
The moments stretch, though I try not to care
Being alone and feeling lonely too.
You said, “just days,” and yes, I know it’s true,
Still, every clock tick feels like a dare
My heart is not yet used to missing you.
But sleep returns with dreams that soften through,
And morning brings a thinner veil of despair.
Being alone and feeling lonely too
My heart is not yet used to missing you.
