I waited alone for you last night

Waited but you never came

I counted hours, minutes, seconds

Till they all became the same

I paced across the room and back

I opened and slammed the door

I pressed my face into the sheets

Till breath came in no more

I carved your name into my pillow

Then beat it till it was gone

I stared out of that prison window

Cursed moonlight on the lawn

I tapped my finger on the glass

Then punched my hand right through

I winced, then smiled, embraced the pain

For it reminded me of you
