I'll die without you
The nape of your neck
Shiver cold
Surprise love shaken spineless and weak
Knock-kneed
Stiffened in this winter of my time
A room reeks your absence
It hates me alone
Embraces my time with death grip
Seething under my surface
No one knows me
No one pines for me
Not one lone cry seeks my favor
No wind longs a grasp nor takes it's liberties with me on mind
I will die without you
The cards beckon and laugh
Seeking their thrill at the expense of this slipping, fading sanity
Amazed at its own disbelief
Where shall it land
Circling aimlessly has no chance
Gives tomorrow a wasted and tarnished sheen
One for the ages
One for all time
And still
I will die without you
