the needle of your pain pierces through my veins
streaming through my blood
caressing every cell in my body

and like an addict getting her fix
i close my eyes
my head falling back
i slowly exhale
and listen to my heartbeats

your absence takes over all other reality
making all else irrelevant
drowning all other thought into oblivion

making life a thing
i no longer strive to protect

i crave to reach out and grab you in the air around me
i can feel your breeze across my face

i can hear your heartbeats
like a tribal drum
setting rhythm to my dance
but like music scattered in a midnight forest
i cannot find its source

and when the needle of your pain pierces through my veins

i want to rip through my chest
reach inside my heart
and grab hold of this string
that will lead me back to you

in this life or the next
