Who do you miss when the nights grow cold

Do you ferret around in the back of your mind and let a memory unfold

Thinking about the moments spent together in the times old

Are the echoes of the past brimming in your mind's threshold

Deep agony you left me with

I seek refuge in my own fear

Tumultuous nights and absent days

You’re not here &I wander

Pursuing what once believed to be home

Anxiety, I took it for the butterflies

Nervous frets, presumed to be excitement

Every illicit feeling, believed to be love

Missing you isn’t a pretty feeling

But god, you have me addicted to every bit of it

Absence of you is so loud

Bangs against my chest and has my mind in chaos

Rip my soul

Tear me apart

Vanquish me with your love

Let me be yours, one last time
