I was obsessing in a Pain of Salvation song this morning (Second Love) and it inspired this. It's meant to be melodically and dramatically styled similar to what they do. Pande' told me I should post it. Thanks for the read and comments if you do.

" When I'm Without Your Love "

You brought my eyes life I never thought I'd see.
You touched my heart.
Now you're just a shadow of what was there.
I can feel you.
I can feel you in my heart,
But I can't touch you--
Since you've gone.

Crowded days on city streets.
Mindlessly tracing our paths backwards
With burning eyes and shallow breath.
And at each corner I turn,
My heart soars and fades
As I hope and then fall in sorrow.
No trace of you anywhere.

(Chorus)
Loneliness is part of me
When I'm without your love.
I need you like I need to breathe.
I crave your soft caress.
The nights are deeper.
The days longer when I'm without your love.
Loneliness is part of me
When I'm without your love.

(Break)
One more day is too long to be without you.
One more hour and I get colder inside.
Bring back the warmth of spring
That warmth I felt in winter--
That melted every frozen cloud around my heart.
Only your love can make me feel alive.
Free me from this pain I feel inside.

(Chorus)
Loneliness is part of me
When I'm without your love.
I need you like I need to breathe.
I crave your soft caress.
The nights are deeper.
The days longer when i'm without your love.
Loneliness is part of me
When I'm without your love.

I'm lonely now that I'm without your love.
