Without

Without you, I don’t need my hands
They’ve forgotten how to touch.
Without your tender skin,
I don’t need them near as much.

Without you, I don’t need my feet,
There is nowhere to go.
Now that your love arms
Aren’t waiting for me to show.

Without you, I don’ t need my eyes,
There’s no beauty that they can see.
Now that your radiant smile,
Is no longer meant for me.

Without you, I don’t need my heart;
It pumps my blood through an empty shell.
The love it olds is only for you,
Anyone else will only find an empty well.
