you

are my salvation

you

save me


I live without you
but it feels lacking and lonely
how did I do this before?
I want to breathe your air
I want to fall into your arms
and feel your lips against me
I want to feel your love and know its true
I want you
I want all of you

without you
it's cold and it's dark and I can't get away from myself
I want to be with you
always
every hour of every day
I want you
I miss you

I miss you so much it hurts me
it hurts me
it hurts me so much I don't know how I get through it
I don't know how I make it to sunset without falling apart

you kept me together
you held me together
you made me want to stay that way
you changed everything
I gave you everything

I poured my heart and soul into loving you
you're gone now
and I don't know how to get it back

where am I without you?
I am lost, adrift out at sea
I can save myself
I know I can
but the wound you left feels like a bullet
shot through my heart
and all I have are bandaids to patch it together

I have to live without you
I have to live with missing you
one day this will be over
one day I'll stop feeling the ghost of your touch
one day I'll erase your smile
your eyes
your voice
from the workings of my soul

and I will learn to breathe again
and I will learn to save myself
and be my own salvation
