I Can Not

I can not speak-
For no words come out;
I can not speak-
For I can't open my mouth.
I can not speak-
'Cause there's nothing to say;
I can not speak-
Like it's not about what I say.

I can not see-
For there's nothing around;
I can not see-
For there's no one around.
I can not see-
It's just me;
I can not see-
It's like I just don't believe.

I can not hear-
Like there's no one talking;
I can not hear-
Like you're not even talking.
I can not hear-
For there's no one to listen to;
I can not hear-
Like I can't even listen to you.

I can not breath-
For I can not catch my breath;
I can not breath-
For you are my breath.
I can not breath-
Only when I am with you;
I can not breath-
Not when I'm missing you.

I can not love-
I love only you;
I can not love-
I'm telling you it's true.
I can not love-
For you are not here;
I can not love-
So you won't have to fear.

I can not miss you-
For I miss you already;
I can not miss you-
Like I am with you already.
I can not miss you-
Not any more;
I can not miss you-
Not when you're standing at my door.

I can not hold you-
Not as close as I want to;
I can not hold you-
Not unless you want me to.
I can not hold you-
Not unless you're near me;
I can not hold you-
Because you are no where near me.

I can not live-
Because you are not there;
I can not live-
Without you-life would be unfair.
I can not live-
I have to live with you.
I can not live-
