If I Am Left Without Love

If I am left without love,
then I shall never see the light again,
I shall be as a blind man
who will never know anything beautiful again.
If love left me for another,
I shall never see paradise,
for I would be locked into the darkest of hours.
Truth is, I would be lost,
if love had ever left me.
She will be there no more,
and I shall sing no more,
my heart would beat no more,
nevermore, nevermore,
see I have nothing anymore.
Too good for love to leave,
but that shows nothing for my heart tore,
from my breast,
and hung on a plate to rest,
then I shall sing no more.
Nothing anymore
would be true,
and life would not be the same,
if I am without love.
For love had created me,
and love had raised me,
and I shall love no more,
if I am left without love.
