teeth

i don't need you like you think i do i just want you here tonight, i know this might sound crazy but my head it just don't feel right, i miss your bones buried beneath my sheets, my voice shakes when i try to speak, your name is stitched into my teeth, and every time i talk i feel you there, every night the floorboards creak outside my bedroom door, 18 months of losing sleep because your ghost has been pacing in the halls, i know they say time heals all wounds, but when will it heal mine?, 'cause i'm sick of waiting for you to bring me back my peace of mind, i still miss you like the moon misses the warm kiss of the sun, when the earth dances between them and steals away its love, i asked how long you'd be gone, and you said "as long as it takes", and i was always so impatient with our love, but i swore i'd wait. i'm tired of living in the fear that one day you'll come back, and after all these years, i won't be able to look you in the face, and say "i've let you go", 'cause yours is the only love i've ever known
