What Am I Without You?

I shed a little piece of me for you today
I cried a little tear that fell to the floor
I left a little note under my pillow with hope last night
I told no lie for the duration of my stay

you shed what needed to be gone dear

you cried to wash away your hurt

you left that note so I will find it

you told no lie because you knew I would know

I hold you with honor and reverence

I cling to you in times of great need
I won't bother you with trivial matter
I need you to comfort me and smile

you hold me much too high

you cling to me whenever you want

you won't bother me at all because nothing regarding you is trivial

you need me as much as you are needed

I wanted to scream with all the air I have
I tried to but couldn't make a sound
I muted my voice to a whisper
I crumbled to the floor with that tear

you  wanted to scream because I wasn't by your side

you tried to but knew in your heart I was really there

you muted to that whisper so I could hear you

you crumbled because you knew I would catch you

I cannot for sake go on like this
I must not bear this all alone
I fear for what has become of me
I will get better I'm told

you cannot for sake give up

you must not bear this all alone

you fear that that is what has come to pass

you will get better and I will help

I have a certain wish in heart
I gave so many of my pieces away
I may not ever get another chance
I say what I came here to say

you have a wish to be wanted

you gave so many wishes away

you may have another chance, I'll see to that

you say what you need to I'm listening 

I loved with all I thought I had
I failed with more than one should be
I lost what meant the most to you
I wept and sat in self pity

you loved but weren't loved in return

you failed to see that your love was just

you lost only what you can have back

you wept with self pity because you were hurt

I must not forget that I have responsibility

I owe her a mother that's true

I allow her her own life and condone her

I am just coming to terms with I am and who

you must not forget that you are but one person

you owe nothing for nothing was owed

you allow yourself the time you need

you are going to pull yourself through

I hear a voice so faint and calling

I have waited long to hear it call my name

I answer it because it gives me strength

I know I am going to be well soon

you hear me cheering you on

you have waited so long to hear anyone

you answer because it lifts your spirit

you know you are well and on your way, dear
