Struggling to breathe
Cutting off my air
Gasping for one last breath
To know that you're still there
Reaching into nothing
Clawing at blank space
Desperate to see, to touch
Your distant fading face
Blind against the darkness
Without you I can't see
Deaf inside this vacuum
Oblivious of all around me
I can no longer reach you
You are stranded in my past
The tides keep pushing onwards
And I can't find the way back
Suffocating in lonliness
Fighing back the tears
I can't find you in this desert
You're realising my fears
I need you here to save me
I can't survive alone
I need you to grab my hand
And gently lead me home
I can't take this separation
I can't stand this empty space
I need you here beside me
But you're gone without a trace
I'm cut off from my oxygen
My lifeblood's running thin
I need you to once more hold me
And make a happy ending
I don't know how to find you
Or why I need you so
But I realised I love you
On that day you had to go
You are the air I breathe
And every word I say
You are the colours in the ocean
And you make my every day

This is good, but my contest asks for 10 - 20 lines. Please shorten it, or I have to disqualify this entry. Thanks for entering, good luck!

Oh right, sorry,didn't see that rule, disqualify away if you must then, cos this ain't getting any shorter
Pointless rule, but if it's there then that can't be helped. Sorry.
