Absent

Absent from my mind
Are the thoughts of us being together
Forever

Absent from my eyes
Is the man that I use to see
It's the same frame but the picture changes rapidly

Absent from my heart
Is the love that I once had for you
The happiness that was brought from you

Absent from my veins
Is the blood that use to pump so warm within me
Now only cold blood runs violently through me

Absent from my fingertips
Is the yearning of the touch
That I use to love so much

Absent from my legs
Is the reason to stand
Because I'm minus a real man

Absent from my feet
Is the anticipation
To any longer hide my feet's desperation
