Tonight
reading your words
melancholy in soul
brought to life

I am without
even a friend in you
as i turn out my light

Every track
has its verse
of how missing you is played

Spread the words
over time on hands
like meadow

Full of all the flowers I love
even ones I hate

I read how you loved me
from ink to tear
you never lied

My rainbow ruby
you never change
imperfections halt

Never gave it you easy
spit the truth then
gave you the push

Worry within confines
too far to touch
too close not to care

Garden of stars
where we spent
the midnight hours

Cigarette sharing
content and entwined
how I thought i knew it was forever

We stumbled laughter filled
you were my Christmas whole
wanted nothing more

If I never see a face like yours
feel fingertips explain
I'm content in once having

Despite the unwrapping of us.

You found the right words to describe the  void left when love is over..

believe in what your heart feels...
