The desert has never felt so cold
Shards of ice pierce my heart
Is it possible that I could have been so bold
As to think I could handle this at the start?

You went away and here I sit
You flew away and here I remain
A kiss goodbye is not enough to last
For more than a moment

This place has never felt so bleak
Emptiness reigns, where is my soul?
Strength sapped, I feel so weak
Search inside, an endless hole

You went away and the tears stream down
You flew away and the screams won’t stop
A lingering scent is not enough
For more than a moment

How do I reach out to you?
My hands clasp air
How do I call out to you?
My voice echos soundlessly
How do I dare hope that those moments won’t fade?

How do I taste you?
Ashes coat my tongue
How do I hold you?
My arms encircle nothing
How do I dare hope your love is more than a moment?

This bed has never felt so big
I stretch forth my hand to the ghost
of a memory of you
