Dearly Beloved

This feeling is creeping back in

My old friend loneliness

Is around the corner

At least this time

He was kind enough to send a postcard

Before he came and became comfortable in my bed

He's in my bed

In my shower

No escape

Countless hours

Him and me

I can't break free

I could be taking a walk

He's on my shoulder

Whispering that i'm growing older alone

Passenger seat when i drive

Convincing me that people

Don't care if i'm alive

He's holding me back

Dragging me under

Down where it's cold

Down where it's darker

Him and me

I can't break free

This time he's not leaving

Till i'm no longer breathing

[Fading breaths]
