Without You

Without you,

There is nothing,

Just a need I deny,

Like the sea needs the shoreline,

Or the clouds need the sky,

Without you I’m alone,

Just a passage in time,

Like sand through an hourglass,

Or an incessant timeline,

Without you I’m unpainted,

Just a colourless shell,

Like a landscape in winter,

Or a grey prison cell,

Without you I’m a shadow,

Just an empty disguise,

Like stars without moonlight,

Or the Mona Lisa’s smile,

*

Without you there is nothing,

Without you I’m not whole.
