What do I do now that you're gone?
I sit and smell you.
I cry into air wanting to hold you.
I write with tears that you can't see.
I scream nothing so you don't hear.

Where do I go now that you're gone?
I go into my dreams and sleep.
I let myself go away to you somewhere.
I float into memories not so old.
I walk down inside me to nothing.

What do I do now that you're gone?
I turn away to never come back.
I close my ears to not hear you.
I turn up the radio to drown me out.
I wipe my face and leave you behind.
