Cautious look down at my hands
They feel your absent times
Yours used to be right here
Up until the day you changed your mind

Silver seas of pain
Burn through the accusing light
Extinguishing your fading flame
Take me deep into the lonley night

Pained fingers pass over old memories
Hesitate at your smile
Trace the lines
Can't see the face
You've dropped your eyes
To hide the lies
I can't stand to face the trial

I fall back so I won't have to hear
The inevitable verdict
I live the lie
Under you
Far below
In the depths of denial
Let be believe your still mine

Sometimes we just refuse to let ourselves believe something, especially something so unpleasant. Well written Mollie.

It's the absolute worst when the one we want isn't available to us. I completely und totally understand where you're coming from...
