Absent Passion Poem by Jesse Bauer

(Verse I)
I can’t sleep in this bed tonight
Without you here
And your side is empty now
I need you here right now.

For so long your pretty face
Could light the world
In my darkest hour now.
I need you here right now.

(Bridge)
I wish you’d see that
I can’t move on so empty
and living so lonely
in a bed that’s now my own

I want you home
I need you with me
But you’re gone
Come back, my absent passion.

(Verse II)
I drink in the hopes that
this lonely soul
Will finally die and drown
I need you here right now

(Bridge)

(Chorus)
I want you home
I need you with me
But you’re gone
I’m cold and empty
Please come home.
And we will never be alone.
Come back, my absent passion.

(Bridge)

(Chorus)
