You and Me...

You and me were once lovers long ago
How much you meant to me has been let go
Now my life is empty and you are gone
Now I'm reduced merely to number one

Laughter no longer occupies within me
Happiness is replaced with sorrow and will only be
The touch of your caress is forever gone with the wind
Now I live alone onward with only my sins

How cruel time is to you and I
We did not get a chance to say good-bye
Your words are only echoes with sounds of time
How my heart only carries a haunting crime

Passionate kisses are now only a memory
Warmth of your presence has changed my sensory
Corrupt thoughts now only stay in my brain
Love no longer holds true but only thoughts insane

How must I go on living without you by my side?
Shall my heart be turned to stone and forever be confined?
Will you ever come back and give us a chance?
Or are you gone and never do another song and dance?

You and me--a word without meaning if you are not here
How longer must I be like this--for I can no longer bear
Time is my enemy and my painful stake
For I may no longer want to live and be awake

Oxygen is a weak drug as each breath is taken
By my sweet drug of dying--only love is forsaken
Now you will see no more of me
As I take my last breath of air--for you shall see

That I cannot go on living without you to hold
Now I must let go of thoughts of you--forever gold
May I be among the heavens toward the sky
For now I lay down to sleep forever...please do not ask me why
