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.
