Space

Here in the dark as I try to sleep
The words wrap around me

Cradling me inside of them
As if they were your arms

Holding me close as I breathe in
Thinking of this curse and our sins

I know what I feel, I believe you too
But my heart is breaking that’s the solid truth

So I lay here in the dark
Waiting for that spark

Your fingers to touch my skin
Awake me from deep within

But alone I lay with the sadness in my heart
The tears they comfort me yet I’m still torn apart

So the words you send comfort me
As I think of what will never be

My heart yearns to know you
To be connected more that’s true

But I will always be the one that got away
And you will always be the one that strayed
