Without You

The house is empty but I call out your name
The echo of loneliness mocks my pain
Traces of you are woven into my heart
Memories embedded begin to start

The nights linger as sleep escapes
The days drag my lonely fate
Shadows of us seem everywhere
As I try to forget you the more I care

You said our love was forever true
But my love is dying without you

Life is void without you
Skies are dreary without you
Nothing is right nothing is wrong
Without you I just don't belong

Drinking numbs the pain
Solitude is how I remain
Cling to heartache to feel you
Happiness has left without you

You said our love was forever true
But my love is dying without you
