I feel it in my mind......
(Losing you.)

Fluttering as tiny wings
softly scratching at my senses....
(Leaving me.)

Digging deeply, gnawing
at that which is me
corroding my thoughts....
(Life without you.)

I can't shake it, can't rid myself
of it's powerful pull....
(No more you.)

Magnetically, I am led to it
journeying forth to it.....
(This reality. )
A destiny unsure in it's wake
voicelessly in anguish,  I cry out....
(Alone without you.)

Desperate to escape this drowning
this dark pool of confusion
muddling my thinking......
(No more "us two".)

Memories of times not far off
pale, fading from my mind
as prints in wet paint
they smear into nothing.....
(Can't live without you.)

I reach out  for you
catch me from this sinking
save me from my own self
tend my broken heart
heal my battered soul
with your tenderness
love me til I'm once more
whole......
Please, love me again.
