Without You

Life without you is lie

I smile to ease the pain

I laugh out loud concealing my heartbreak

My yearning for you is as natural as the air I breathe

I hear your voice, music to my ears

I hear your laughter, happy tinkling on my heart

Laughing, eyes twinkling, memories come pouring in

He looks at me and smile in kind

I’m quiet, my smiles and laughter

Not meant for him

Feel as if I’m betraying you

Feel as if I should be split in two

Life without you is a lie

Trying my best to be true

I can only be the best me when I’m with you

Feeling like an empty shell, existing, not living
