Last night I cried myself to sleep in fear I'd lost my everything
But somehow the scent of you on my pillow
Gave me reason to answer this morning's dawn
You see I cannot quite explain why today's air is worth breathing
Because all my dreams seem to dissipate like all my certainties have thus far
I knew myself as the melted utterance that once froze upon the glimmer of your star
I was the steam marked breath seen through the essence of that frigid stat we've branded loneliness
You came to me as the morning dew-drenched rays of warmth
That so gently roused this slumbering tongue
You are the ever-sweet water spent in entirety to quench the smoldered coals of an empty union
Last night I cried myself to sleep
And my groundlessness embraces nothing
But a worthless hopeless flailing that never subsides
This stomach aches from a hollowness that leaves me breathlessly
Reaching out for a taste of the past. and even though a piece of me
Has crumbled into a bitter memory, somehow the scent of you on my pillow brings me to another day
