Afterimage

I woke up to see you standing there
Full of shock I was lost in your familiar stare
Feeling your breath in the frozen air
Frost running through my hair
Cant be imagined
You spoke so soft I could barely hear
You were close like a ghost
No more hopes by calling me a fear
Just as your image was coming clear I reached but you disappeared
You disappeared
The second time I was more prepared
I do know more but before you left me in despair
And out of heaven I'll say a prayer
Cause I need you to be here
I only wanted to understand
Why you went, what this meant, to prevent you from a beating end
But this seemed counterintuitive
And I'm left alone again
Alone agin.

Is this your spirit trying to make amends
Now that you've left your family and your friends
Caught in the current from the ocean of your misery and regret
Thought I would follow into the cosmos
Free from the sorrows of existence
But what I found was hollow
I wallow in what's left of your after image
Wanted to ask you what's after this
Wanted to know if it's really worth it
Wanna know why you abandoned me
Find out what made you think you deserve this
But I can't see you anymore
Your presence fading away
My heart sinks through the floor
I can't see you
No I can't see you
Is this your spirit trying to make amends
Now that you've left your family and your friends
Caught in the current from the ocean of your misery and regret
Thought I would follow into the cosmos
Free from the sorrows of existence
But what I found was hollow
I wallow in what's left of your after image
Of your after image
Of your after image.
