No Meaning Without You

======================== Suffocating in truth, truth that you're gone. No warmth in a freeze, no dusk for my dawn. No air for my lungs, no shade in the sun. No meaning at all, a bullet....no gun. Rapids, no current.... ships, no sea. Motherless child that I came to be You left your scent all over this house. Keen to my senses, memories rouse. This line that I walk is missing a leader. Seeking my mother, how badly I need her. Now ashes in an urn, the woman who sang me to sleep. I'm screaming your name...on my knees...I weep.. Can you hear me?... Acknowledge my pain! My voice trembles, I choke on your name. I can't go on,...won't,..you're not by my side. Hopeless is an ocean, I get lost in the tide. I'm carried away. I'm pulled under. Caught in the storm...Lightening..thunder. It rolls, it crashes. churning with strength. Your existence, I seek, at all lengths. Like a blanket, your death covers my thoughts. My heart is an apple, I grieve while it rots. The art to my canvas, no beauty without you. A song without music...A value, no virtue.
