With out You

I sit here in the darkness

It surrounds me like a glove

But sheds no warmth

I shiver and hug myself tighter

Continually wishing someone would come

And hold me close

I close my eyes and try to imagine

A friendly hand on my shoulder

And a whisper in my ear

Telling me that every thing is going to be all right

I remember how different things were

When there was noting to prove to each other

We did not think about what was going to happen

We made it happen

We always did what made us happy

Not what everyone else wanted.

Over the raging water our love has been broken

We stand on opposite sides

No one willing to lend a hand

To help the other across

We just stand there and stare at each other

Wondering who will break down first

If anyone ever will

You turn to leave and I try to cry out

“No please stop!”

The words get stuck in my throat by foolish pride

And you keep walking away from me

I collapse to the ground

Without you my life is empty a black hole with no end and no beginning

Just space and darkness that surrounds me like a glove

But sheds no warmth.
