Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder

The seconds swell within Lungs that fill in minutes To hours that feel the same The days that burst like cysts To excruciating pain The clock, unrelenting Shows no pity for Those who wish for things to stay the same Defying the strongest wills The lust for change will persevere Leaving in the dust All things once cherished A home abandoned The walls which once knew love Left to sit Waiting for the rot to set in The things we dare not speak Have found a way To bring us to our knees A path not recognized Twice lead astray Leading hope to atrophy Isolation infests the mind Within the lonely disease incubates Spreading from host to host Crippling the ones you hold closest Eyes open but the heart is blind Unrecognized within your mind The phantom pain, unwavering The symptoms unchanging Palpitations can lead to failure The things we dare not speak Have found a way To bring us to our knees A path not recognized Twice lead astray Leading hope to atrophy The things we dare not speak Have found a way To bring us to our knees A path not recognized Twice lead astray Leading hope to atrophy The things we dare not speak Have found a way To bring us to our knees Seconds swell within Lungs that burst in days
