Were it not for you
My horizon would have vanished
And to the depths of darkness
I surely would be banished
Were it not for you
I would have lost my strength
To fight the world's absurdity
And race another length
Were it not for you
And your liquid golden gaze
I would tilt with the land
Unable to go my own ways
Were it not for you
Who held me when I cried
The tears would never flow again
Destroyed by fear and pride
Were it not for you
Who's quiet voice I sought
I'd listen to the scornful world
I'd be conquered, I'd be caught
Were it not for you
Who'd never let me roam
I'd never find a place to be
I'd never come back home
I'd believe in anything
Were it not for you
Only this is true, without question
I love you.
Author notes
I must make notice that the last four lines were from the song "Without Question" by Elton John, and the lines "Were it not for you" also came from that song. I was inspired by it.
Here are the words I used, in order;
Horizon
Strength
Absurdity
Gaze
Tilt
Land
Pride
Quiet
Conquered
Home
And to the one I wrote this for...I love you.
