{unsung}

with you gone
finding my way back to the center of the bed
doesn't seem so hard
now
or does it?

with you gone
life is what was and never could be again
alone, empty
but me, just the same

with you gone
with you gone
with you gone

mornings, space, silence, still
remain constant in the vastness of us
one minute longer
here

with you gone

the sun streaming in
burning
cruel

as our shared world is
waiting
waiting for you to return

do what you must
in this life

be it yours
mine
or ours

for into and out of the earth
one by one we arrive

departing
forever
for real
both unfathomable and true

i will lay waiting
and one week from now you'll return
here
in what was
and still is
us the same

no worries should come from inside
for i'm here
now
and still

with you gone
with you gone
with you gone

here now and still
with you gone
