Left With Leaving

Reaching out Hoping to feel her leaning in So standing still Seems like holding hands Breathe it in, her air of everything Only to breathe out When shortness conquers strength Stay the night We'll make up stories come first light Keep it all in Afraid to know what's behind closed doors Months have passed Hell, you've finally changed the sheets But she's still there Drenched in darkness on the left Find a way To reason with silent rage And bags unpacked You find her reading, cased in glass Speak your mind Trembling words fall out your mouth And she responds Fast asleep in sheets of doubt You're only left with leaving Gasping, gagged-in air, you stumble home Tie it off to stop the bleeding And you carry on alone
