LOOKING FOR YOU
Its nights like those, That I fear the most, The cortisol kicks in my vein, And your memories paralyse me again. Its the times like those, That I fear the most, When I walk in all alone, And the home doesn't feel like home. Its the mornings like those, That I fear the most, When I'm sleepy and reach out for your arms, And all I hear are the buzzing alarms. Its the evenings like those, That I fear the most, When I seek you amidst the noise, And I don't get to hear your voice. Its the afternoons like those, That I fear the most, When I type your number on my phone, And stare blankly at the screen, alone. Its the life like one of those, That I've always feared the most, When I sit quietly, destroyed, Looking for you in the void.
