Because my eyes fell empty
When I saw you escape from me
And now I see your shadow
Follow me home.
I am a hollow man,
Devoid of you.
But you circle me gently,
Hover over me while I sleep.
You wake me in sweats
And tears.
My bones screaming,
"Who are you now?"
Because I become someone different
Every day, someone new
Trying to replicate something
Since the moment I lost you.
You float so near to me,
But I can't catch you.
And I have no right,
Not until I know you,
Know you like you know me.
I can't have you,
Nor claim you,
As you will not have me
Until I can build inside
The home you like.
