The chilling breeze of being without you
took me by surprise
as i regret the moment i first saw you
and the thrilling mystery in your eyes
the light drizzle of missing your touch
the heavy downpour of desperation
the pain hurts twice as much
when it is your own creation
leaving you along with the sun
letting go of what i shoud've done
holding onto a horizon that's breaking
trying to stand my ground while it's quaking
missing you is like a world disaster
time goes slower and my heart goes faster
it's like walking with heels in the snow,
the colder you get, the further you go.
without you, my life's a storm
my body is desperate to be warm
but the harsh weather is knocking me around
the lack of stability forces me to the ground
the touch of winter bliss
reminds me of your spirited kiss
but it also keeps me stinging cold
for your beauty, my eyes can no longer behold
and yes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
but missing you only makes me colder
and if I don't pay attention to this vicious storm
my body will freeze, thinking it was warm.
every feeling I once had would be numb
I would only feel the nothingness we are set to become
missing you came without warning and hit too fast
and I doubt these emergency generators will continue to last
so if the lights go out,
and i disappear,
only the light you bring
will show me
I'm here.


thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.
