the void of a human shape

The void of a human shape I have my little joys Sprouting like spring leaves Evidences that faith is still rummaging Through my vein I asked you If this time was really truly forever But I'd never know In the morning you were already gone So I packed our memories away Had a small burial in the backyard Your faces burnt away Melting into my heart something That I decided to call A void with a human shape You told me it's all in my head And I laughed and said And so are you And so am I And so are we But you didn't get it In the morning you were already gone I did the laundry and watered the plants Your plastic soldiers clustered under the bed The linen still held the shape of our night I could feel your warmth lingering like a ghost And I thought about how to carry on But the time was up You were already gone And there was just me With the void of a human shape.

The void of a human shape

I have my little joysSprouting like spring leavesEvidences that faith is still rummagingThrough my veinI asked youIf this time was really truly foreverBut I'd never knowIn the morning you were already goneSo I packed our memories awayHad a small burial in the backyardYour faces burnt awayMelting into my heart somethingThat I decided to callA voidwith a human shapeYou told me it's all in my headAnd I laughed and saidAnd so are youAnd so am IAnd so are weBut you didn't get itIn the morning you were already goneI did the laundry and watered the plantsYour plastic soldiers clustered under the bedThe linen still held the shape of our nightI could feel your warmthlingering like a ghostAnd I thought about how to carry onBut the time was upYou were already goneAnd there was just meWith the void of a human shape.
