Hollow Man

If I say the words perhaps they will fall like dead leaves to the ground If I say that your smile is like the golden sunrise perhaps you'll frown. If I dare to take your hand in mine maybe you'll cast it away. I'll take whatever chance there is to make you always mine. What carest I for rebuke when the reward is so great? What carest I when my world is at stake? How can I live without you in this world? Is there any purpose for my days without you? Don’t reject me and cast me away like an old shoe. Don’t speak the words I dread to hear. Don’t turn your back on me and take your leave. These are the things that rent my heart and cause me pain. You are the sun, moon and stars to me. If ever I continue to draw breath and live, I must have you and pour out my love. Without you I am a hollow man good for nothing.
