Losing you

Losing you,
It was not such a long time ago,
Sunlight pouring through,
And I'd see through it,
See through it,
See through it all.
And I lived with words,
Lived through words,
I stood by them,
I built a world of them around me,
And lived in that place,
And so loved life there.

Losing you,
I lie frozen,
Bereft,
Mid-winter time,
It was not such a long time ago,
Sunlight pouring through,
And I'd see through it,
See through it,
See through it all,
And I lived with words,
Lived through words,
I believed in them,
I built a tower with them
That reached so high,
It broke through the skies,
And took me to a world
I've never known before,
And I so loved life there too.

Losing you,
I lie frozen,
Bereft,
Mid-winter time,
It was not such
A long time ago...
