I Am Nothing

I am… nothing

Before all of this, I was quiet, calm

With everything I wanted there in my palm

My life had order, my life had stability

I lived through my days in perfect tranquility

All was as it should be, with nary a stress

I had all I wanted, but none in excess

But then I met you

And it all fell apart

I couldn’t keep track

You had captured my heart

And gave no inclination of giving it back

It became all jumbled, got all confused

And I tried to speak to you, but I could tell

You watched me stumble, obviously amused

As you took my peace and tossed it to Hell

Before all of this, I was smartest in class

With a reign that seemed like it would always last

My life had order, my life had promise

I exceeded each challenge, completely flawless

All was as it should be, without any challenge

And there was nothing I could not manage

But then I met you

And it all fell apart

My mind lost all motivation

You had captured my heart

And left my head to damnation

I wanted to talk, truly, I did

But it was like driving through rain

My thoughts started to skid

And I lost control of my brain

Before all of this, I was happy

Or so I thought, sadly

But now I’ve met you

And my fears’ve come true

Because I’ve fallen for you, I’ve lost all control

I can’t keep track with the thoughts that you stole

Each time that we talk is the best of my life

And whenever we part, it hurts like a knife

Now I realize what I fear to be true

That I am nothing… without you
