Without You

I breathe for you when you cannot I sleep within the screaming thought Of life and love and death and pain For tears stream silent in the rain A shadow lives where once was I Despair hangs heavy in the sky A chasm stretching without end And silence is my only friend In dreams I see your sunlit face I promised you I’d keep the pace But all that’s left when daylight breaks Is empty mem’ries and faded fakes When without you the sun hangs low My heartbeat fades until it’s slow A thudding drum inside my chest In longing for eternal rest
