Without You (Reply)

Without you there's no
stars in the sky;
Without you,
there's a tear
in my eye.
When you're around
I swear I can fly;
Without you,
Love,
I'd have long ago
Died.

Without you I'd have fallen,
on some forgotten field,
My hands that now long to
Hold you,
clutched to a
Sword and Shield;
Without you I'd still be
Wand'ring,
seeking in hopes to find
a Love that will be
Eternal,
a Love like
Yours and Mine.

Though a Warrior still
am I,
in proud and noble Corps,
though I could not love thee,
Dear, so much,
Loved I not Honor more,
My arms,
they ache to hold You,
My heart now turns to Home;
But I'm stranded here without you,
until all Hope seems gone.

Without you I'd be crushed,
the weight of the World
Upon my back;
I'd have lost
All the Good within me,
been Cold, Soulless, and Black.
Without you, I'd have
Never made it back,
from the pit of Hell I was
Waltzing eagerly toward.

Without you I am
Nothing;
Without you I am
Lost;
Without you I die inside,
withered by Life's
killing frost.
Without I'm out on
Stormy seas,
a tiny leaf Tempest-toss'd;
I'm begging you to
Rescue me,
from being
Without you.
