Warhead

This emptiness inside is absurdly loud
And it rings in my ears so I do not sleep
It's the thought of you
My memory
Which is surely fogged by now

I chose to remember your safe, loving arms
Somehow drowning out the iciness in which you abandoned me
I feel you looking at me
Accusing me
I could've tried a little harder
I didn't understand your pain

You have crippled my heart
Unfair as you had always been I suppose
I unlocked myself to you
And you gobbled me up

I never saw which direction you had come from
Once loving, my eternal friend
Never wanting to see your likes again

As I lay awake you are there
And you speak to me
Will you move along?

You, I blame, for such dysfunctional sleep
You, I blame, for taking my capacity to love with you

You were my knight
But you are sick now so am I
