She’s lying in the empty bed, the one they used to share
still can feel his presence like a spectral being there
but it cannot console her, the way he always would
she is hurting more now than she thought she ever could.
Outside a storm is tearing up the solace of the night
anxiety is growing and there’s no relief in sight
though they agreed it couldn’t last he came out ahead
while she was left alone to keep the empty lovers bed
Rain drums the darkened window pane
wet whispers engraved in the dust
tomorrow their tracings will stare at her
like iron that’s gone to rust
the metal she thought he was made of
all just a dream she created
the whole of the visions of their love
expired when they separated
She’s crying still each passing night, the tears she locks inside
no one knows she’s hurting she’s learned too well to hide
the misery of being the one who had to say
she could go on without him when she watched him walk away
Lightening flashes sear the edge of evening’s sultry air
for a moment she imagines he’s listening somewhere
that he’s feeling the way she does, wanting desperately
it could be as when they first met, the way it used to be
Rain drops are empty love notes
which hauntingly torment the soul
tear through the vitals so jaggedly
a blade that is painfully dull
how does he think she’ll get by now
How can she ever let go
she’d hate if she could but then somehow
that would make the weight more to tow
Yes, that would make the weight more to tow
