The Other Side
I found Hell on the other side of you
a moment without you
leaves me gasping for air
...but you are my air
Fill my lungs again
Come back…
I found Hell on the other side of you
I sleep on the floor because
the bed was made for two; us
In a constant falling dream
just wishing to hit the ground
Come back…
I found Hell on the other side of you
Every waking hour
Every second of everyday
I’m on my knees
Begging for you
Come back…
I found Hell on the other side of you
My pillow brings no relief
Where have you gone
I even beg for you
in my dreams
Come back…
I found Hell on the other side of you
Which begs the question what did you find
on the other side of me?
