I don't hear your voice anymore
Your ringtone on my phone goes unused
The mysteries in your eyes are unexplored
And these uncertainties
Have me so confused
Last night I dreamt a lover's dream
A sweet dream only by definition
But with each repetition of these hapless visions
Sour and bitterness are acquisitioned
There's nothing sweet about emptiness
And loneliness isn't overrated
It's understated, I must profess,
That love's confessions are best sedated
For nothing's sadder than love unrequited
And there's no cure for a crush one-sided
So I've decided to hold my tongue
Tomorrow I'll place love on a rung
Just out of reach
Upon the ladder of
This empty room
Haunts me at night
The ghost of you
Stands by my bedside
This empty bed
Allows me no sleep
Your voice still lingers
It speaks to me
"Remember the way we used to kiss?"
"Remember my eyes and my lips?"
"Remember the way I'd wear your clothes?"
"Remember me, dear, I am still close"
This empty heart
Reels to believe
In fate, in chance
In destiny
This empty heart
Still holds you near
But this broken heart says
You were never here.
