linger

 
uneasy emotion, I feel alone
I don't feel you near
I reach with my soul and loneliness echoes back

a little hope then fade to black
I miss your presence
caressing my darkness with a need of your own

I feel the day to day crowd in
I look out and don't see you
I wonder what wave carried you away?

some unique fascination, maybe
the mundane all too obvious
I got lost among the clothes

I seek your company
I may never know it again
but it sustained me all these years
if you hear me remain stoic

fuck the coming dawn
a ghost of my haunting soul
