absent

absent

november.5.2003


absent from a sound,
the silence that you need.
frozen to the world,
the truth will make you bleed.

the words they never say,
it keeps you on the brink.
they left you here again,
you slowly start to sink.

what you will never have,
is all you'll ever know.
if they had asked to stay,
you'd have made them go.
