i heard the clang, the shut of the door

as your footsteps faded in the night

i held the warmth of your last embrace

i kissed the fingers you've kissed before

cold feet against the floor of a lost dream

i miss catching a glimpse of your sleeping form

for you don't sleep here anymore

in the darkness my eyes are wide open

i cannot fall without your whispered goodnight

without the arms that held me when I cried

should that spark of love flicker and die

you told me I would see you again

you promised to heal if there were cuts to mend

the silence in this house gives way to screams

do you see the same empty memories
