WITHOUT YOU



Being without you is like a sinking ship
It’s like a shepherd who’s lost his sheep
It’s like a being that’s lost its heartbeat

Being without you is like a door without a key
It’s like a bed without a pillow
It’s like a song without a voice

Like a bird without a feather, I’m restricted.
Can’t move on without you

Like a face without a name, I don’t belong.
I’m lost without you

Like the blind walking without a guide, I’m blind to happiness.
It’s invisible without you

Like a potter without clay
Your hands and mine are needed to create perfection

Like a multitude with several languages
My heart yearns for you in multiple beats

Like slavery in past centuries, I’m ensnared without you.

Like eyes that have lost its sight

Like love without two hearts beating as one

All that is left is sadness within my heart
Hope without companion, and emptiness in my world.

Now I drink pain in every delight and poison in every wine
Indeed, being without you is bitter.

Being without you is simply being without!!
