Absent Till August

Lately I’ve been lying alone
Pained by the the heavy weight
Of the emptiness that my arms embrace
Crushing my heart beneath its tidal wave.
And as I stare at the blank wall in front of me
Your absence becomes only more real
Questions haunt my throbbing mind
Questions with answers I can’t seem to find.

Rhyme and reason, they’ve all fled from me
And I’m left chasing my memories and such
Of times when life wasn’t all past and future
And all of my hope wasn’t absent till August.

Here I am,
I’m drenched in hated fate,
Weighing my unbearable wait.
And now I know
My only hope is
That these times apart make
Future smiles more prevalent.

Yeah…I’ve kinda been on a song-writing streak.
