Whole

I wither 
Like a flower without sun 
Or a tree without water 
When I live without your touch. 

I crumble 
Like a brittle sandcastle to the sea 
Or a ruin of old 
When I live without your strength. 

I falter 
Like a record that’s been scratched 
Or a train without rails 
When I live without your guidance. 

I perish 
Like a forest in a fire 
Or a house in a storm 
When I live without your love. 

It is you that completes me. 
It is you that makes me whole. 
It is you that perfects me. 
It is you that soothes my soul. 

And to live life without you 
Is to love life no more 
Because even in this short while 
Your love’s shook me to my core. 

And I no longer wither or crumble 
Won’t falter or perish 
Can’t be less than all I can be 
All for the simple fact 
That I now have you…with me.
