Wish You Were Here

I came home one day,
You weren't here anymore.
You were snatched from me,
Gone without my consent,
Taken somewhere I wish I knew.

My tears drench my pillow,
My heart suffocates without you,
There's no use to go on,
There's no use to live anymore.

I lie in bed, stiff as a rock.
The only sound is,
the sniffling of my runny nose.
I doze off dreaming of you.
I see you,
I wanna touch you,
I wanna hug you,
I wanna kiss you.
But as you get near,
I wake up and you're no longer here.

I scream in agony, I scream in fear,
wishing that you were here.
My face is swelled, my eyes are red,
as I drown, I can't even tread.

I slowly disappear, I'm almost transparent,
I'll be leaving now,
there's really no reason to live now,
Since your not here,
I can only wish you were here.
