without you

its true
what they say
about love
its a gift
god chose to bestow
though its not always wrapped
with a shiny red bow
its still a gift
dont you know

without you
the sun is black
the ocean is barren
the light is dim
the clouds are grey
the birds don’t chirp
the artist is blind
the musician is deaf
the singer is mute
the athlete- crippled
the writer cannot read
the fire cannot burn
my heart yearns
without you.
 when im with you
my soul
is napping on a cloud
carefree
oblivious
of all the problems
desires
corruption
that wait patiently
below
in reality
when im with you
nothing matters
everything
is love
bliss
happiness
all problems
dissolved
vanished
into the crisp air
when im with you.

i thought we had
something special
different
unique
a feeling within our souls
that i trusted
but my soul
betrayed me
and all those months
moments
minutes
memories
wasted
are nothing now but the past
the only remaining souvenier
shut away
within our minds
our hearts
our souls
hidden
only time holds the key
to unlock them
but the earth spins
the grass grows
the moon glows
the stream flows
even though
my heart
wont beat
because your love
is so sweet
i just
cant
live
cant love
cant be
cant do
my heart
is blind
without
you
