There a hole in my heart
Shaped like you.
It’s jagged edges cut me-
Everytime I think I see you
Everytime I wake from a dream
And there is that moment
That realisation
Oh right, Scarlet’s dead.
We were so young,
Too young, too damn young
And now I’m growing older,
Growing up-without you
It’s not right, it’s just not right.
Still the world keeps turning,
Milestones pile up,
We’re graduating,
Finding jobs, homes, love
You never even saw twenty-one.
Saw your parents last week
Your mother cried
Your dad spoke too much, too fast
To cover the gap
You should be filling
There is a Scarlet-shaped hole
In my heart,
Its jagged edges just keep on
Cutting me.
