Afterimage - WVNDER

I woke up to see you standing there

Full of shock, I was lost, in your familiar stare

Feeling your breath in the frozen air

Touch running through my hair.

Can’t be imagined

You spoke so soft, I could barely hear

You were close, like a ghost, not morose, but calming me of fear

Just as your image was coming clear

I reached but you disappeared

You disappeared

The second time I was more prepared

Had to know more, but before you left me in despair

And out of habit I’ll say a prayer, cause I need you to be here

I only wanted to understand

Why you went, what this meant, to prevent you from repeating it

But this encounter came to an end, and I’m left alone again

Alone again

Is this your spirit trying to make amends?

Now that you’ve left your family and your friends

Caught in the current from the ocean of your, misery and regret

Thought I would follow you into the cosmos, free from the sorrows of existence

But what I found was hollow

I wallow in what’s left of your afterimage

Wanted to ask you what’s after this

Wanted to know if its really worth it

Want to know why you abandoned me

Find out what made you think you deserved this

But I can’t see you anymore

Your presence fading away, my heart sinks through the floor

I can’t see you.

No, I can’t see you

Is this your spirit trying to make amends?

Now that you’ve left your family and your friends

Caught in the current from the ocean of your, misery and regret

Thought I would follow you into the cosmos, free from the sorrows of existence

But what I found was hollow

I wallow in what’s left of your afterimage

Of your afterimage

Of your afterimage
