The nights are the worst
I breathe in the dark air and wish I could smell your skin
Do you remember how I loved to smell you?
It was home, it was comfort, it was you
Do you remember how you would say.. ‘I need to feel skin’
And you would peel the layers of my clothes away to feel me
I stretch my hand out in the dark to play with the hair on your chest
It is only darkness and the empty side of the bed
I squeeze my eyes shut and try to feel you, if only in my dreams
The nights are the worst without your arms
I feel I’m drowning
And you won’t save me anymore
You know I am drowning
But you look away
You are drowning too in your own pain
The nights are the worst
We used to hold tight to each other
Now we drown
With nothing to hold 💔
