The Presence of Absence

Haunted by the presence of Absence 
Unfair judgment has been whispered in my hungry ear
Unwanted in my own home – seeking repentance
I will break free…until then, I won’t shed a tear and I shall not fear…for healing’s near

Haunted by the presence of Absence
Live life like it’s our last…forget about yesterday’s regrets and pain
Wanted in the arms of forgiveness and sustenance 
In the middle of nowhere, I find out that I’m lost in a multitude…the thought of it drives me insane

Haunted by the presence of Absence
I worshiped the words that you spoke every time we messaged each other
Taunted by the past nightmares…I’m drunk on your elegant essence 
I’m wondering who’s going to save me from myself? Maybe I’ll just rely on my Father

Haunted by the presence of Absence 
I’m perfectly imperfect and you’re flawlessly flawed…nothing makes sense anymore
Daunted by the demons in my mind, telling me that you are of no significance 
In the end of the Chapter, I guess I had to sacrifice myself for your precious life that I so much adore…there is a beginning to explore, so don’t give up…for there’s hope and freedom in store that will enlighten you to the core…illuminate us, oh Lord of Accord, so you and I can soar together as one once more…………
