enough air
An empty room, chill in the air There are a few clues Showing who isn't there All of those spots worn out by my stare  Salt crystals from dried tears Spice my meals They've been gathered for years As if everything is just as it appears  I feel like I'm waiting Limbo never ends Time is abating, it's dulling my sense But it doesn't alleviate the suspense  Breathe a cold breath and blow it on out Waiting for you to come and end this drought But I'm still without  I can remember the day that you left Torn from my side we were cleft So I wait to stop being bereft  Ghosts in my home but nobody's there There is no sign There's no mail in the box, not even a card The phone doesn't ring, there's not even a sound  No one knocks on the door And I know that it's you Not coming home So I'm still alone  Until the end I will show that I care With my last breath, I know be screaming "Life isn't fair", if I have enough air
