Without You


I am going to live

I am going to run with the stars and

Scream at the sky

 

James Joyce will hold my hand

And we will walk in a connected world

As the trees mutter a familiar tune

 

I am going to learn

I- I am going to learn what love means

And how to give it to those deserving

 

My heart will beat

My eyes will see

And truth will flow like old, shattered rivers

 

My thoughts will grow

And even you will know

Every piece of me breathes:

 

I am alive

I am alive and without you

i am i
