On my own again



On my own again
When each night until you return 
Feels like a thousand years 
When the ache is so bad
I can no longer produce tears 
Just a sadness prevailing
And my heart slowly ailing
Until I am frightened it will harden 
And feel no more

When my laughter
Seems like the laughter of another
So that I look around 
For its author, surprised that it's me
When the daily chatter of
How are you's and weather
Sticks in my throat 
Because unless we are together
I feel nothing
