Absence

Emotions spread like explosions
Can not control what I can’t see
Wanting to escape from this emotion
That is a knife that cuts me deep

Trying to manage with you here
Is like a storm & I’m stuck in the middle
Love is like an emotional disorder
And currently my heart is cripple

Searching for words I never lost 
Soaking in my despair 
So absent minded of “so called love” 
That maybe it wasn’t there 

Possibly it was present, just faded off
Or buried under confusion 
Mistakes lead to bigger problems
And problems lead to no solution

Verbally we are together
Reality were far apart
We left love in a real dark room
And now that door is locked

Staying in pain seems detrimental 
But it’s killing me to move on
Can find love in a massive ocean
So why am I inside this pond

Trapped inside of myself
Feelings I cant explain
Feels like every piece of this is a link
That’s connected to a heavy chain

It all was just one big plane
And down it all went crashing
Though we never admitted to ourselves
Between us love had become absent
