When You Stopped Being You
WHEN YOU STOPPED BEING YOU
When you stopped,
being you
My gentle world,
fell through
Lost on a sea,
of my own making
What you meant to me
When you stopped,
being you
Day and night,
meant nothing
My plight
Drifting,
without a sail
It cannot be,
lost on a lonely sea
When you stopped,
being you
My gentle world,
fell through
I looked for you today,
you have gone
Dying
Lost
You cannot stay
When you stopped,
being you
My gentle world,
lost too
It is only me,
alone
Day and night
On a desolate sea
When you stopped,
being you
My gentle world,
fell through
Time cannot
always heal
the days you feel
When you stopped,
being you
