Withering
Walking on eggshells
This cold, dark home of ours
You're so many miles away
from one bedroom to another
Searching through every moment
of a simple strength to make this work
You may act like you don't feel me
But I know you can feel my heart's pounding
Children's laughter muted
Where has our happiness gone?
You don't love me like I need you
Needing and loving
Stretched so far apart
Fighting the urge not to wrap myself around you
For one touch so it may fast-forward this pain
This house is haunted, I swear it
Hearing these voices of love
Memories... lost in the wind
We've tried and never overcoming
These cancered days are my biggest fear
I'm withering, baby
My heart needs peace
And your tears need shelter
Wishing you can see me and my understanding
But all you see are broken pieces of a love's mirror
I don't know where we go from here
This storm in my mind will take me one day
Don't know what to do
Keeping you close yet so far
As I keep pacing through these rooms
Searching for us
