You are not here by my side no more

Not even your darkest shadow follows along

I whisper your name

I hear nothing back

He listens without hesitation and hugs me tight

My tears are dried by his soft hands

He leads the way into the deep ocean

Mocking your coward face and daunting lies

I sit by the shore watching you disappear

Thin air you belong not here

He was so nice I thought at first

His hands would protect against foreign

Slowly his hands I do not recognize

I wait for him to bite and finish scratching

He drags me below the water surface

And holds me down I am alone

At the bottom I have no tears left to dry

I call for you one last time

You are not here by my side no more
