in your absence there is silence—
the type of silence that could kill a man.

in your absence there are words left unsaid,
pocketfuls of emotions left undealt.

in your absence i find a war brewing,
with no peace left to offer at hand,

in your absence i find melancholy,
my heart shattered to pieces like glass.

in your absence i lose away at me,
at this soul i've never known would last.

in your absence i fear who i become,
someone in the mirror i can't grasp.
