I saw you walk out the door
The void you left feels heavy
I still breathe in the sheets
Looking for your faint outline
I roam the world, gripped
By thoughts that always run away
Toward you, the only one
Able to bring me back to life
With a single snap of your fingers
I'll gather pieces of you
If earth and sky are blended in this room
Time's just the shadow of your existence
Empty space is full of your absence
And in every corner your essence's still here
Which you lost when you closed that door
Leaving no doubt, since she won't come back
And I still hope, and that's what counts
It doesn't matter how much time is left
You come back and my bones come back too
I'll recount pieces of you
I pull my knees against my chest
To hold in all my rage
I softly bite these lips
You'll wipe them dry with your fingers
I barely wash myself
I dress with zero care
I choose nothing that matches
In my heart it's always nightfall
There's no room even for a prayer
I'll gather pieces of you
If earth and sky are blended in this room
Time's just the shadow of your existence
Empty space is full of your absence
You come back and all my bones come back
I'll gather pieces of you
