I can't live without you.
I would breath the air,
and my heart would beat,
but I would not feel the joy of life.
My dreams would be lost
like a leaf carted away by a storm.
I would gaze at the stars
without appreciating the way they light up the sky.
I would pass the roses in bloom
without noticing their beauty.
I would no longer look forward to each sunset and each dawn.
I would be broken,
never to be mended again;
Winter icy breath would steal the warmth in my soul,
because I know laughter or happiness.
If you were lost to me,
I'd have no reason to try,
no reason to be.
You are my prayer,
my shelter from hopelessness and despair,
my sunshine, my light,
my lazy days,
my peaceful nights,
and only you can keep the spark in my soul burning bright.
