When you're not near to me,
I am no longer free.
The world chains me up tight
And I cannot try to fight.
In my heart resides a hole,
Something lacking from my soul.
The place that you can fill,
That no one but you will.
Without you I am less;
My soul becomes a mess.
Depression in the air,
A sickness I must ware.
Some people do not know,
Their sympathy is just faux.
Has their heart walked away
Because it could not stay?
Whenever you must leave,
I cannot help but grieve.
And the longer you are gone,
The more it feels wrong.
I know that this sounds fake,
But it's my life at stake.
Please don't prolong your sojourn
Or dead I'll be on your return.
