I shall live sad without you

Tomorrow I will wake with the sun’s rising

While I harness the dawn of a day, new

With a wistful heart that will not dare to browse

The distant memories, vivid and lucid in their wake

And I shall live sad without you

Painted smiles with cracks

Affected by the coldness ascribed to my pain of heart

Which beats reluctantly but relentless

Lest it ceases to bear the burden

Of sustaining my very breath and life and being,

But with a wistful heart that will not dare to browse

The memories, distant but vivid

And lucid in their wake

And I shall live sad without you.
