I'm  Gone

It concerns me constantly
This weight that grips me
by the throat
Unsettling distance
uncomforting silence
An anticipated shitty joke

I met my demon
Face to face
She kicked in all the doors
Rendered my corpse to ash
constructing castle walls in their place

Decided the pain wasn't worth it
concluded  nothing to gain
Unlike mine your love
Wasn't borderline insane

Your craving was minimal
like waking up and going to work
you dreaded the next time
I would ach to see your beautiful face

No need for your worry
I am already gone
I drained my heart of your love
Then conjured these words into song
