I find myself in this same old place Feeling way old my usual space
Been here before almost all of my life Thinking what ifs and feeling like mice
Deadly that silence lurking by shadows Creeps closer and closer knight arming the gallows
Quiet all around, echo in place She sounds bright siren sets thunder bolts grace
Voice through void hear pitch clear my love my baby Accepting my fate, the risk I had to take maybe
Moments with you a martyr lay wait Can nothing a pedestal I make
Holding with might, the night forsake Feeling no warmth, a fear I hate
Toughing cold haste still see by blur Truth sinking feeling abandoned by her
Now all that is left is odor heaven scent A waking nightmare, tear locked eyes ever bent
Sitting and staring most of time Pain through the window false whish for my sign
Drops of pure light slice thought face key, memory smile fill, shimmer of three Avoiding green stew anger to follow stabbing my gut another to be
Spinning in circles loop pity forever Infinite sadness thick chocking despair disables together
Need to escape unable to move lost in self-doubt, man fits bill Cornered by loneliness trapped by worlds no sign will
Locked universal a partner be Hurt waves break tide she is set free
No need to pretend a love once me Knowing full well you were taking the key
Often, I wonder life probability seen Patient I delay stepping in stars beam
Scatter and fall light actors final play I hope one day another might stray
Feeding my love, I will give it away Not to long now I rock and sway
Whispers lips close soft get near Transfixed by her gaze kiss tilted neck here
Moving as one unable to fake I say night mantra, miss you and need you forever future soul mate

Yup been there several times, mark two weeks on the calendar, focus on that date, physiology fixes you every time, the haunting takes a little longer..
