A World Without You

A world without you would mean no more smiles.
Only a dull resemblance of who I used to be.

A world without you would be no more songs.
For music would shatter my heart into pieces. 

A world without you would have no agenda.
So I would have to spend all day and night picking those pieces up just to break it--again.

A world without you would be aimless. 
So the body that holds me together would slowly and painfully disintegrate 

For I am alive, but dead, simultaneously. 

A world without you be beautyless. 
Sunsets would be grim and sunrises would be dim 

 All goodness would be reversed for I would be ready for my hearse.
 In a world without you.
