Without You

December 21, 2004

My feet are bleeding

temples aching

the world is in a spin

My ears are ringing

bruises forming

on my callused skin

When I would fall

or drift away

you’d always be the one

To pick me up

and bring me back

and make me come undone

When I would hurt

and feel alone

yours were the only arms

That held so tight

and kept me warm

secure and safe from harm

But now you’re gone

and now it’s time

for me to walk alone

Through all the pain

I’ll find a way

to do this on my own

Even if I have to crawl

or fake a smile

just to make it through

I know someday

I’ll understand

I’m stronger without you
