No One Is You.

Toss and turn for one more night

I try so hard to shut my eyes

To the memories that circle my mind

But their cold hands can’t hold me tight

Not like you.

No one can do the things you do

No one can be you

So I sit inside my lonely mind

Dwelling on better times

Times with you.

I shut it out, their beckoning

They all cry out for the old me

But changes are fast asleep

Awaiting my awakening

Me without you.

And no one can do the things you do

No one can be like you

No one has your warm embrace

Wet breath against my tired face

No one but you.

And I try so hard to reason with

This prison guard who shut me in

This door hinges on your every word

Open when your voice is heard

But only for you.

No one is you.
