Without You

tango-1813691_1920

Bright is the morning

As dusty snow swallows the peaks

The wind itself is bitter cold

And I am alone

Dark is the room

Where leaves blow in

And cobwebs hold up the walls

Empty but for me

Steam rises slowly

And the tea leaves dance

Carefree like we once were

Before that day

Rain fell hard

On that field of stone

My heart bitter and empty

When you left

Since you died

Each day past

Is harder than the last

Without you
