When you are away

When you are away,
I cry myself to sleep,
I dream of a cliff,
I just want to leap.

When you are away,
I am all alone,
With no one here,
I sit on my own.

When you are away,
I call out to you,
There's no one there,
I feel so blue.

When you are away,
I wait for your return,
I need your touch,
Your skin is what I yearn.

When you are away,
My blood runs cold,
Left and abandoned,
I feel so old.

I have come to realise,
Something that I dread,
All this time I have been alone,
It is because I am dead.
