I'Ve Lost My Heart

The night is long, the minutes creep I can’t remember, is there something they call sleep The curtain’s drawn, there is no sound Save for my heart I count the beats, the rhythm flows There is one thing, one thing only that it knows Without your love, I don’t exist You are my heart Empty arms are not meant to be Empty eyes are not able to see Empty beds are for no one who reaches for love Without you, I just cannot be me Empty chairs sit alone in the room Empty tables serve nothing but gloom Empty bottles of wine are my fair weather friends Even flowers can no longer bloom I hear your voice, could this be true Do I hear footsteps, is this vision really you Is this a dream, yes, it must be I’ve lost my heart

"Without your love, I don’t exist, you are my heart" This is so sad, yet so beautiful and romantic, all at the same time. Your thoughts caress softly around me. I wish to place this in my favorites, because these words touch my heart. ~ Brandy
