Without You

 A world without you

Is like the sky without the stars,

Ugly and dark all day round;

'Tis like a lifeless body full of scars,

From a broken heart left aground.

For you are the spark that keeps the light,

For my heart's sole delight;

I need you here by my side,

For eternity's calm and tide.

A world without you

Is like a river without water;

Purposeless for the river,

And for who more else it does matter!

You are the source of my green and lush,

That no dry river can give;

I cannot be without you,

If happy and full I need to live.

Alas! But happy and full why should I be?

If you have your own happy and full;

You live you, and I live me,

That is the way of this life, dreamful, cruel.
