the anti-you won't go away

the anti-you won't go away
beside me always he remains
won't let you come again and stay

my mouth is shut, i cannot say
how much I drown within my pains
the anti-you won't go away

and with him bringing skies dark grey
his presence won't undo my strains
won't let you come again and stay

upon my sanity's edge frayed
I walk in search of what remains
the anti-you won't go away

we stare in silence through the day
and will each other gone like cranes
won't let you come again and stay

for if your absence went away
you would be back to ease these pains
the anti-you won't go away,
won't let you come again and stay.
