When

When I wake up
I don't awake
Go to sleep at night
I don't sleep
Another day comes
It seems it is not here
When I see you
I can not see you
When you look at me
I don't see you


When you call my name
I don't hear you
When you hold me
I don't feel you
When you kiss me
It is like death warmed over
When I pick a rose
I don't smell it
The air is cold
But I don't feel it

If your not here
I don't know it
When I'm alone
It feels like you are here
Tell me
What is wrong with me
Tomorrow may never come
Yet it feels like it is already here
My heart is shattered
It feels the same
