Nothing Missing

Why does my heart break When I have lost nothing that I had What road could possibly invite our travels That is not rife with no outlet, and no reverse Where have I gone, that I could not take you with me What tree did I climb Into which river's current did I fall The stars are above us all, but sing no comfort of darkness back to me No map has been drawn, no tether back remains The wind that carries no hint of you Has no mercies This is the cliff This is the cliff that we sought together Where I now arrive alone If I jump, I jump alone You won't find me, but then again, you did not think to search Why does my heart break When I have lost nothing that I possessed There is nothing missing, there is nothing missing That was not here before
