When the Love Is Gone

Before I met you this emptiness lived inside of me Nothing lived here, there was to much space Emptiness dwelled inside of me refusing to leave me alone So emptiness unpacked it's bags and crawled inside of me and found a place called home It made to much noise Refused to pay the rent Was late on paying the bills Got the lights cut off There was no gas So my heart grew cold Than I met you And emptiness got bored Packed it's bags and left Left no forwarding address, where it could be reached And love was passing by Had no place to go No place to call home And one evening it knocked And the door was open Because emptiness forgot to lock it So love came in Saw what it could see Unpacked it's bags and it possessed me It filled me up Until there was no space for nothing else It threw wild parties Never turned off the lights Kept the neighbors up at night It told bad jokes It made me laugh I never felt cold It kept me warm Always a smile on my face It reached inside of me with all that it had and it made me feel safe For I knew love was with me forever and would never leave And than you left And one morning I awoke and found love not laying beside me It stayed out all night Didn't even call I searched and searched and could not find it I wondered where it was and why did it leave Damn it, why did it leave without telling me Days passed and love was no where to be found The bills were over due I felt so all alone Love didn't come home like it always did One day love appeared Never said where it had been From that moment I knew something had changed It went to bed early Turned off all the lights Didn't keep me up at night Didn't even smile Days passed by and inside of me got quite I couldn't feel a thing I was still inside I went to visit love Because it hadn't been by I knocked on the door And the door opened So I went inside The lights weren't on All the furniture was gone I looked inside of me and saw emptiness forwarding address laying next to my heart No more need for me to explore For I knew from that moment as I walked through the door Just like you Love didn’t live here anymore It didn’t call Won’t answer the phone So am asking you What do you do, when the Love is gone
