You’re there when I look at silver cars and bright ads
Covering the walls as I walk home missing you
And it makes me mad.
You’re there when strangers walk behind me in the dark –
Their shadow blends with mine but it fades
And I curse out this farce.
You’re there when I cry on the floor in my kitchen
As the cold seeps through my blueish skin
And I wish these words were never written.
You’re still there when I glance at empty windows.
They reflect my fragile frame, and it’s clear –
The hunger is once again taking me wherever the wind blows.
