Without You
I labour thru' the day
just to see your face;
you keep me off the fray
without you, i'm lost in space.
The persecution lasts a while
but you see me through;
love's drive as a child
pure heartaches leave me blue.
Just thinking of you
brings me consolation;
my tears fall as a fool
my troubles in resignation.
I look the hours to pass
till i gaze upon thee;
thence my heart dances
my soul thus set free.
Ms. K, you save me again
giving refuge in your love;
the Lord to bless maintain
His comfort oh! so soft!
If i could only thank you
i'd sail the seven seas;
till we meet in honest truth
Ms. K, love me at least.
Till the world ends in flames
my heart will still yearn;
this impossible love, not games
teaches me, much to learn.
So, as i pen these thoughts
i hope you will one day see;
i buy you not in gold or lots
i have you within, deep in me.
God hath taught me this much
to love is to override hate;
to bend the evil and sordid such
to focus on her, my salvation's made.
This cycle will last a while
till the moon turns red, i still shall smile;
love's torn apart by vile
my prayers, Ms. K, winneth' my trials.
Good night, Ms. K, i bless thee
i hope you will still see me;
tomorrow's lots, i am not free
without you, a lone, still tree.
