When I’m not with you



When I’m not with you
We’re together standing
Face to face side by side
Our souls soar our hearts dance
When I’m not with you
We laugh we touch we balance
Each other’s well being
When I’m with you I’m dead
Inside my mind wanders
With confusion haste wrath
When I’m with you I’m lonely
Utterly so manifested overall
Forsaken emptied
