My New Language Without You Contest

#As dr0plets descend fr0m the 1nf1n1te d1m sky
#  My heart cr1es 0ut and hungers t0 fly
#   Far fr0m th1s fragmented f1lthy space
#    To a world with true l0ve and genu1ne grace
#     F0r ages 1 prayed t0 be carr1ed away
#      1 th0ught f0r certa1n y0u w0uld always stay
#       But valleys came between 0ur land
#         Y0ur l0ve began t0 scratch l1ke gra1ns 0f sand
#          Wh1rlw1nds ech0ed thr0ugh 0ur 1nsubstant1al trees
#           0n that day y0u dec1ded t0 pick up and leave
#            Are you 1n a better place?
#             1n my m1nd 1 st1ll see y0ur face
#              0nly t1me can fade th1s p1cture g00d
#               F0r 1n the end 1t was 1 wh0 m1sunderst00d
#                Pass the h1ghways and 0ver the d1stant seas
#                 There 1s 0ne greater wh0 w1ll c0me f0r me
#                  Dreary n1ghts were just a phase
#                   1 n0w kn0w me 1n better ways
#                     L1fe has segments and subtle c0urses
#                      Y0ur departure br0ught new f0und s0urces
#                       1 felt the tr1ckle 0f the end
#                        1t wasn’t a break 1t was just a bend
#                         Wh1ch caused me t0 see thr0ugh new f0und eyes
#                          Evap0rat1ng all your crystal c0vered l1es
#                           The pr0m1se land 1s cl0ser than bef0re
#                             1 just needed t0 slam the gates and seal up that d00r
#                              Y0ur malfunct10ns and c0nstant self-destruct10n
#                               Defect1ve eg0 that had faulty 1nstruct10ns
#                                 Are all n0w s0me0ne else’s merchand1se
#                                   1 p1ty the purchase even at 1ts d1sc0unted pr1ce.
