Without You

I never knew I missed you
Until you were long past gone
Now I sit and only ache
I am shattered and alone
I just couldn't trust you
So now my heart must grieve
I may put on a smiling face
But without you I can't breathe

And so the days drag onward
In a discontenting blur
My heart continues to grow cold
I fear there is no cure
But I will smile and flirt again
Pretending I can love
You will never know my pain
Or my prayers I send above

God if you still listen
Please heal my broken heart
Sculpt for me a miracle
Give me a piece of art
Someone who will love me
And treasure all our time
A kind soul that makes me laugh
Someone I can call mine

So even though I miss you
I have a sense of hope
I wait for my miracle
The way for me to cope
My heart may still lie broken
But I will have another try
New love warms my bitter soul
And he will never make me cry
