Solitary

This quiet house is a stranger
Blindly I wander the silent halls
Until I lose myself in the darkness
And wirelessly give in to these four walls

You are not here
And the emptiness aches within me
I do not belong without you
Wherever you are is where I should be

I crawl between my icy sheets
And my thoughts cannot be contained
They rise up to meet you and bring you home
And I can breathe again

Too soon slumber ascends
I am woken by the sound of the truth
Pulled from the comfort of my dreams
I am once again devoid of you

I drag my feet and stumble through another day
Longing for you it feels like forever
As I lay down my tired body and surrender to my need for you
I tell myself tomorrow will be better
