Life At Half The Speed

When you're not with me,
Time is purgatory,
I watch the seconds go by,
Like little ducks trying to fly,

They don't go anywhere.

Breathing is twice as loud,
My senses numb as a cloud,
The soul is adrift randomly,
Failing to grasp reality,

My heart is with you.

Missing you means an eternal night,
Couldn't find the morning light,
Trying to stand, trying to fight,
The emptiness twice as might,

I need you
