I cannot see my way
without you beside me
there's no future left
no future, without thee
I've lost you forever
I'm here all alone
future is empty
my path now unknown
Chorus
I don't want to wake
leave me here to dream
I don't want the day, the day to begin
Your smile, was my light
and now you are gone
like a flower that died
without any sun
Chorus
I don't want to wake
leave me here to dream
I don't want the day, the day to begin
A guitar without strings
your music has stopped
but my memories, they cling
they're all that I've got
I'm a stream without water
tears just don't flow
the river I've cried
it's emptied my soul
Chorus
I don't want to wake
leave me here to dream
I don't want the day, the day to begin
Come back to see me
if only in my sleep
let me know what it's like
beyond this world, as I weep
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
please, please
please, wait for me.

I like it, and do we get to hear this song, or is it private?
Hopefully the dream comes true, it is that day.
Hi Paul can you hear it? I don't have a video I'm learning as I go this is the first time in my life I have done something like this but I hope you can hear the song
Romantic Teddy but a romanticism of the lost. A feeling of emptiness and the vacum that leaves one hollow. There is a longing in this song or poem that gives a feeling of despair and a plea for the loved to return where one is waiting. Nicely penned my friend
Yes, did you listen to the song?
Yes I did is it yours?
Yes it is, finally another tick off my bucket list, I made it come alive thanks to the encouragement of poet Syd, but it's not my voice, although I could also sing this easily. Maybe one day I will. 🌹 Thank you my dear sorrenbarret today it all happened so fast I know it's valentine's day but here we are with my sad song. Big hugs to you my dear friend. 🌹
Dearest Teddy, “A guitar without strings” is the image that caught me. It’s simple, but it says everything about silence after loss. The music stops, yet the memory of it remains. That metaphor holds the center of the piece. Strong lyrics here, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Did you listen to the song? Can you hear it in the USA? Just checking because it's the first time I've ever used YouTube and posted it here. 🌹 Thank you my darling Tristan, happy valentine's my dear friend. 🌹
I had not...somehow didn't even see it sitting there. Went straight for the read. Now that I have listened to it...wow! I can hear it here in the USA. Is that you singing it? Regardless, what a beautiful song! So glad I got to hear it too!
It's not my voice, and I'm so glad you could hear it. 🌹
Beautiful song that got realized either way. You are a beautiful soul, dearest Teddy. Glad our poetic/musical paths have crossed. 🌹
Right back at you my dear friend. 🌹
That person will always be with Teddy, love never dies.
Andy
Thank you Andy. 🌹
Sweet Teddy, this is heartbreak laid bare, tender and unguarded as a bruise in daylight.
You’ve let the grief sing without shame, and that chorus aches like someone who loved deep and still does.
Thank you dearest Thomas, you got every bit of it's meaning, something I never thought could come to life are my lyrics, so I'm honoured to Habe you listen to how. My words can sing. 🌹
a hauntingly tender poem - the ache felt at the loss is beautifully brought out..well done
Did you listen to the song! One of my dreams has come true to Habe my lyrics in song. Thank you so much dearest NafisaSB 🌹💐
