Absence

The longing we feel
Falls on deaf ears 
Our heartstrings are pulled 
Ripped apart 
They have been trampled
They say absence 
Makes the heart grow fonder 
But I don't believe in the wives tales of old
Absence can make 
The brightest hearts turn black and cold
We are just a stones throw apart
And I'm standing here throwing my heart
A frozen heart hurts worse when it hits home
And home is where the heart is
It stings a little more when you're all alone
