Without You

I don’t dream anymore.

Too afraid of what I’ll find.

And what if I said

what was really on my mind?

And what if my reality

didn’t mesh with yours?

Would you push me away?

Or just close all the doors...

Trapping me in this world,

there’s no one here for me.

Just you pretending

that you Love me.

But I always pay the price,

believing every word.

Waiting for you always,

Wondering what you’ve heard.

You call me weak,

wonder how I live.

Don’t you understand?

I’ve nothing left to give.

I’ve given you my all

And you’ve taken everything.

Now you’re asking for more

and leaving me nothing.

And still I remain

and wonder what to do.

What kind of life

would I have without you…
