I wake in your twilit room.
I don't want to turn over-
I woke up way too soon.
What is this sadness?
I've got this empty, achy feeling,
My stomach is crazy, churning.
I roll over and gaze at your ceiling
And try to ignore this temporary, desired yearning.
What is this sadness?
I know you've left me here alone,
I'm in your empty bed,
So I stretch out to your side
And pull the covers back over my head.
I can hear your CD quietly playing-
It brings me back to last night-
I swear I hear your voice barely breathing:
"Stay with me-it feels right."
Right.
Tell me then:
Why am I alone today, in this love-full bed?
And
What is this sadness?
