I rolled over in my sleep, and hit the wall
when you were there, i did not fall
as i rise from bed,
I miss the kisses, on your forehead
and the I love you's, that once were said
I cracked a joke, and no-one laughed
I took two tokes, no need to pass
I made some coffee, poured just one glass
that's how i know, you left my A$$
I had faith at first, without a doubt
I went to church, and prayed out loud
I hope that makes, my children proud

I went to the bar, all by myself
proposed a toast, to my health
thank you lord, for the cards I'm dealt
and damn I'm bored, with the feelings felt
my pen's a sword, to fight my guilt
I wear my pain, just like a quilt

I'm in my house, the porch lights on
to guide your way into my arms
I already know your not close, to coming home
and I'm still all alone
this is how i know, your really gone

I lock the door, and take a pill
to make me chill,
I don't like they way, they make me feel
this is how i know, this nightmare's real

I grab a pillow, and a sheet
remove the shoes, from my feet
my mind is tired, and my bodies beat
cause your not here, i cannot sleep
I'm up all night, just to weep
just one more pill, a mid-night treat
as i sit still, in your favorite seat

I cover up, in my quilt of pain
I turn my guilt, into a game
where i stand, out in the rain
I'm the only one, that's playing
cause no matter what, you were not staying

I hear your having, a decent life
about to be, some creep's wife
who is already married, and makes you cry
so as you lye, with him tonight
I hope you feel, your choice was right
Isn't that why, you took flight
so you could do, much better than I
I ask you now, to wipe your eyes
do not stop, until their dry
get some rest, and know that I
sent a prayer for you, into the skies

Give love to those, who have done you wrong
say a prayer, for them to carry on
try to make short, a night that's long
fight your fears, til the break of dawn
and give respect, to a love that's gone
