The Other Side

You have been dead for four days

I still seem to look the same

I wonder what you look like now

Maybe just like the stars and clouds

I wonder if you heard my screams

Or if you felt the tears on my jeans

As I went out the door, half-collapsed to the floor

I can still feel the gravel on my knees

And the wind as it pulled on my sleeves

Can you see me

Can you hear me

Are you listening or

Are you busy

I wish you could come through that door

Just like you did before

Check out the new decor

I wish you could see who I've become

Don't need all, but just a crumb

Sucks that I now have none

I just need you to come back to life

Live a life where you survived

Wouldn't that be nice?

I just wish you could look me in the eyes

Tell me that it will be fine

But it's just silence on the other side

You have been dead for twelve days

I still wake up the exact same

Uttering the same vow

That I will stay alive for you now

It still feels like one big dream

Waiting for your text on my screen

An invite to the store or help with the chores

I can still hear the jingle of your keys

And your boots on the hard concrete

Can you see me

Can you hear me

Are you listening or

Are you busy?

I wish you could come through that door

Just like you did before

Check out the new decor

I wish you could see who I've become

Don't need all, but just a crumb

Sucks that I now have none

I just need you to come back to life

Live a life where you survived

Wouldn't that be nice?

I just wish you could look me in the eyes

Tell me that it will be fine

But it's just silence on the other side
