And You Are Not There br I’m holding back the tears with all my might br My breathing is shallow like something isn’t right br My heart is feeling pressure of something too tight br And you are not here br My skin feels clammy and looks chalky white br The blood in my veins stands still without a fight br Words I held back have quietly taken flight br And you cannot hear br Every emotion drains out of every pore br Weakness wins over despair without keeping score br Reluctantly I sweep desire’s ashes under the floor br And you somehow disappear br And all my vulnerabilities are ready to unfold br Every excuse in the world has been told br And every piece of my broken heart is cold br And you are not near br If love was all there was to life I’d be a winner br I’d be seen as a saint and not a sinner br You’d be a savior of an angel, not a web spinner br But you are not herebr br Alfred Ramosbr br
