Replacement Options

Looking into the murkey waters of my own illusion,
It's about time to shed some light on the shadows of my soul
Swim out of the bitter cold.
My denial only steals your smiles anyway.

Maybe I could find someone else,
Someone with your same brown eyes
But will they be as warm?

My own eyes could search for more,
A pair of arms, similar to the ones in your name.
But they won't be your arms,
Because they just can't hold me right.

These ears would settle for your words,
To sing the sunshine back into the sky
But the clouds would remain lonely,
For it is not your voice.

The beating in my chest is not my own anymore,
It only knows your name.
Crying for you in every rhythm,
Existing only on the deminishing hope that you'll listen again.

So in the end, it seems my denial is not denial at all.
Instead, a coming-to-terms with on reality.
The reality that there is only you left,
My hearts only companion.
