Missing You

The altar for you still shines, Dust gathers on the sides, But nothing can ever touch it. I was the high priestess in the temple of you. I need you more than I need cigarettes You appeal to my damaged radar, You entice my fragmented heart. I can't remember ever feeling so empty When I'm not in your arms. My black nails are chipping And my eyes are more haunted than I've ever let them appear. My dreams taste of you And I don't know my own pain anymore..... Intermingled and laced with the loss of you. I do need something And I know its you But I can't make my mouth Form the words that dance along my lips. That still shine in tear filled eyes. You are my missing pieces, You are my soul's brother. And I feel your presence when you drive by. I can't love another when I love you. I can't claim passion for life when I want to die. You took away all the essentials for my breath.... I have no heart, I have no passion, have no emotion. You carry it around in your chest, My heart still beating in you. If I was stronger I would tell you I need you even more Now that you're not here.
