i wake up in the morning with my arms around my pillow then suddenly i realize i only hold a pillow you re not there you re not there i call your name and hear my voice run searching through the hallway to return alone confirming all i ve known for so long i m alone you re still gone still half asleep i stumble to the kitchen for my coffee my footsteps match my heartbeats funny heartbeats on linoleum the sounds all wrong you re still gone the sounds outside reminding me the world won t wait forever and understanding saves don t stand by empty graves you re on your own all alone she s still gone
