Absence

You put up all your walls Surround yourself with solemn stone And hope your voice's echo makes you feel a little less alone Your absinthe tinted eyes Try bravely to appear fair But nothing fey or otherwise Dilutes the spirit of despair You find me in my sleep This stranger that I knew so well Entombed with you behind my eyes With this as heaven, who needs hell. You're still inside these rooms I watch you stand at every door My heart and mind can't reconcile That you're just not here anymore.
