~ Lost Without You ~

Don't tell me that you understand,
or tell me that you know
Don't tell me that I will survive,
how I will surely grow
Don't tell me this is just a test,
that I am truly blessed
That I am chosen for this task,
apart from all the rest

Don't come at me with answers
that can only come from me
Don't tell me how my grief will pass
that I will soon be free
Don't stand in bias judgment
of the bonds I must untie
Don't tell me how to suffer,
don't tell me how to cry

My life is filled with selfishness,
my pain is all I see
But I need you,
I need your love,
unconditionally
Accept me in my ups and downs,
I need someone to share
Just hold my hand and let me cry,
and say, "My friend, I care."
