Not Here

The phones been ringing
And the knocking doesn't seem to end
It all echoes down the hall
Ringing in my head
Telling me; move on
But I don't know how to rewrite this life I've been living
And your not here to help me anymore

You promised you'd be there
Swore you'd hold my hand when the going got tough
And I've been sinking
Taking on water that I can't seem to bail on my own

The walls are closing in
Making this world seem darker
And I've been screaming out your name
Falling to my knees, pleading with the night
But your no where to be found
And I'm tumbling way too far this time

I've swallowed the pills
Held the blade, felt it against my skin
Closed my eyes
Whispered; forgive me, please
Begged for you to come and heal me of this pain
But your still not here
And I can't rewrite this on my own

The phones been ringing
Telling you. . .
I'm not here.
