Without You I Am Nothing
All around the trees are swaying and shaking,
But I can’t feel the cold I know I should.
The wind is howling and screaming,
But I cannot hear it at all.
The snow is falling in a fast and furious blizzard.
A sheet of white masks the mountains I know are there.
The smell of snow; crisp, clean and fresh,
I cannot smell it ... and I miss it.
I can sense your presence and want to seek you out.
You reach me and I freeze,
Panic floods through me.
If I cannot feel everything I should,
Can I feel you?
Will I ever feel your warmth?
Will I ever hear you golden voice again?
Will I ever feel another of your tender kisses?
Will I ever see your perfect features again?
I can feel a warm hand on my shoulder,
I turn in shock to see you standing tall and proud in front of me.
I hadn’t noticed the tears I was crying until I could taste them in my mouth,
I can see your face and features, as perfect as I remember them.
You embrace me in the most adoring hug holding me close,
I instantly feel your warmth spread through me like a blaze.
I can hear your gentile, caring whispers in my ear,
I can smell your familiar sweet scent.
You bring my scenes alive in my time of numbness,
You could bring me out of the deepest and darkest of comas,
You could stop me from falling into despair.
I need you my love,
Without you I am still and silent,
Without you I am numb,
Without you I am nothing.
