you have just gone
not forever
not even for very long
and i like you
but already
doubts start to creep in
on little cold feet
on the floor of my mind
sending shivers
down the spine of my happiness
with big eyes
they count the ways
in which you haven't shown you missed me
since you left
they point their little fingers
at the thorn of desparation in my side
nodding their heads
oh, how deep it is wedged there
too deep to remove
without leaving a scar
oh, how long it will take to recover
so i don't miss you as much
and if you don't come back
don't come back
i will not be alone
i'll have the children
of my sorrow
to keep me warm
