No Man's Land
A darkened void
Dreamless nightly
Asleep you seldom see
Tossing madly
While holding tightly
I'm simply cursed to be
Alone without you
Though you're near
I'm thirsting for just a touch
A bed divided
A silent tear
We just don't talk that much
So take my heart
Before it dies
And leaves me slowly bleeding
For love lives on
Despite the lies
It's only you I'm needing
In love I lay
In pain I stay…
