Relent by Ailbhe Reddy

The guilt is never ending,
Lays around my bed.
Quietly waiting while I desperately repent.
Tossed sheets between a moment hot and wet.
Only in those seconds do I feel it relent.
And you reached down from my neck to my chest,
And you held your breath when I said,

"This is just a hollow, this is just a hollow, this is just a hollow since you left."
"This is just a hollow, this is just a hollow, this is just a hollow since you left."
Oh Jackie, won't you look at me?
Don't walk away from me.
Oh Jackie, won't you look at me?
Don't walk away from me.

The girl who picks my brain
Asks me about death.
We all think about it,
But only in the depths.
I ask those who follow,
They'll let me forget,
All the pain you sowed,
All the memories you wrecked.
When I asked you to go and away you went
And you reached down from my neck to my chest,

(And you said)
"This is just a hollow, this is just a hollow, this is just a hollow since you left."
(And you said)
"This is just a hollow, this is just a hollow, this is just a hollow since you left."
Oh Jackie, won't you look at me?
Don't walk away from me.
Oh Jackie, won't you look at me?
Don't walk away from me.

She's standing right in front of me,
Bending to all my needs.
In the shower I'm on my knees,
Don't look at me, don't look at me...
Me...
