WITHOUT YOU

I sit alone watching the hours pass
As other people take for granted the pain they don't have
I'd give anything to be roaming in their shoes
Living normal life, not feeling the blues

I can't blame you for walking away
Our love was stale, our affection decay
But now that your gone I miss everything we had
The kind of love that made a bad day glad

It's ironic the day you decide to leave
Is when I realize that without you I'm nothing but grief
All I do now is sit and miss what we were
I have a sickness, only you hold the cure

Rising from bed, once routine not a chore
The sun doesn't seem very bright anymore
With the loss of you I have lost myself
I feel like a pitiable someone else

Pictures of the past smother my room
I'd take them down but that would mean moving on from you
They display our love that seemed so strong
I could never see the day that you'd be gone

The aching feels like a pain without pain
I wonder if things will ever be the same
I'd rather feel the stab of a thousand swords
Than the emptiness that consumes my world

Tears are streaming down my once happy face
I no longer have a refuge, a safe place
It's impossible to escape the memories we had
I can't believe the pain has gotten so bad
My eyes bleed the sorrowful tears
For the wasted days, months, and years

I pray to God he'll erase you from my memory
But it's no use, in everything I still see you and me
The times of happiness, love and laughter
Seem so far away, in a hapless ever after
