WITHOUT YOU






WITHOUT YOU




Without you I don`t really work, I`m not me
I`m just like a whistle without a pea,
Just like the flowers need the rain
I need you to stop my pain.

I`m just like a shell that is empty inside
A feeling of emptiness I just can`t hide,
My head is in place – as you can see
But my brain doesn`t function, just like me.

My eyes would sparkle when I saw you
Light up like torches, as you well knew,
Our eyes locked together would dance,
Now mine only stare as in a trance.

My ears would wait for the sound of the ring
I`d hear your voice and my heart would sing,
The deafening sound of silence is all
That I hear, not the sound of your call.

The senses in my nose were woken
As I held you close, not a word spoken
Making my senses reel, as on a wave
All gone now, that is your aftershave.

My lips would part and form a smile
Feeling they`d reach beyond a mile,
A giggle was even heard out loud
No more, all gone, for there`s a cloud.

I would hold you close in my arms
Giving way to all your charms,
I used to hold you for ` loves sake`,
Empty now, so they must ache.

I used to run my fingers through your hair
Even across your lips without a care,
All they do now is strum on the table
I`d love to do it again – that`s no fable.

I`ve sat on your knee and you held me tight
I wish it could`ve been long into the night,
We cuddled and across your face would fall my hair
Now all I sit on is an empty chair.

As for my heart, well, it's in place
As for a heartbeat, well, there`s no trace,
No beat to pump red hot blood through my veins
`Cause now in my heart it only rains.

My lungs needed lots of oxygen
`Cause they worked very hard then,
That`s `cause you took my breath away
Now in my chest they only lay.

My feet would be walking on air
That`s `cause I didn`t have a care,
A spring in my step made me walk tall
Now all I`m in for is a fall.
