As The Water Drops In The Drain

by Dark Angel - Pisces

Your side of the bed is so cold and empty
My pillow is soaked from man made rain
Silence is disturbed by the clock's ticking
As the water drops in the drain.

The darkness outside is the same as within
The stars won't even shine because of the cold's pain
My heart doesn't even beat at its regular pace
As the water drops in the drain.

Your side of the dresser has nothing but empty drawers
Only two sweaters I had bought you last Christmas remain
You can even sense the emptiness from behind the walls
As the water drops in the drain.

The door no longer opens in the middle of the night
To hear you walk through from work never again
The stairs no longer get the chance to let off their midnight creaks
As the water drops in the drain.

No more surprise romantic evenings
The dust has now settled on our champagne
Candle wicks no longer see a flame
As the water drops in the drain.

Your arms no longer hold me through the night
My comfort and security I no longer attain
Now only a blanket to protect me from night's shadows
As the water drops in the drain.

Our future now shattered to pieces
The vows we spoke can no longer be ascertained
Never again a glimpse of you in the rising sun
As the water drops in the drain.
