Eye's wide open through the night as we painter our own futures together.
Shades and colours, divine, so full of hope now it's left in tatters.
The nails that once dug in my back now scratch through thin canvas of us.
A tongue that was once so soothing now cuts me like a knife.
The dead of night, cigarette smoke trailing through street lights,
My mind races faster than my legs could ever carry me
But the day is done and I search desperately for my key.
Slamming the key, twist, open the door and I am shut off from the outside
but before the lights flicker I see your familiar shadow from across the Hallway to the bedroom, lying peacefully on your side of the bed.
Lights switch on and yet again I'm dreaming the past
because I'm still here and you're long gone.
This house was once a home
This room still has an aching soul
These memory's are still so fresh
and It chills me to the bone.
