Audrey's Meraki

There’s something still broken  That can’t be fixed on my own A different kind of heartache  I can feel it in my bones It’s almost past the midnight  The clock has struck three Happiness seems to be drifted Far, furthest away from me Wandering through his memories The demons have come along  I’m drowning in him tonight  Listening to our favourite song  Urging me to keep awake While the whole world is asleep This darkness feels like home And in silence the sorrows weep Staring at the blank ceiling  I dream us with wide open eyes Trapped in these illusions And a whirlpool of cruel lies I wrap my arms around me “He’s not coming back”, I hush Rocking myself back to sleep Before the early dawn’s blush - Audrey.
