Until You Return

Don't go

My heart seems to have fallen into your pocket

It'll hide there, unseen and forgotten

Until you return

And I feel so strange without it

A small hollow lingers

Just where you rested your hand

Why am I such a fool for you?

I can usually hold my own

Your head is in your hands

And I'm terrified your hard-won strenght

Is running out

You're tangled in my heartstrings

Your sense and grit entwined in all I do

You leave

I know you'll be back, but when you're not around

An empty sound solidifies inside me

It stays with me until you return

A soft, blue note humming in the air

A slight change of light

It makes me feel just a little less alive

Why am I such a fool for you?

I can usually hold my own

It's a thankless, heavy world out there

And I can see the weight of worry wears you out

I know you're tired

If you need me, I'll be there

You won't stand alone

I'll be a fool for you
