Lost Without You...A Song

Cassini recently discovered that one of the rings of Saturn
is made up of lost radio waves on Earth
Do you know what that means?
We're being heard

Bought and sold, it began to seem as though
You've always been here
My eyes grab the road
I know you can hear this
I know you read into every word I say
Comb through these messages
Searching for signs that will show you the way
To get inside my head
But they only lead you astray

Tracing the lines of latitude
Across your great and sinous spine,
Locked and lost in your biology
I'm laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive
I'm running my life into the ground
You don't know how much I've cried

You think that I'm so proud
My future will be bright
But you can never how
Many times I wake up
In the middle of the night
Screaming at my pillow
As an alternative to suicide

And then there's you
Telling me I can really do something for myself
My biggest fan, I never dreamed
I could be a hero to somebody else
I never show my feelings
Because I'm too afraid of losing
But here's a fact I fear you already knew
I would be lost without you

Shrouding ourselves under bridges,
Across railroad tracks or straight to hell,
What's the difference?
Logical mathematics dictates that two can only become one
Through division
So I guess I'm writing this just to say
I miss you

    The ending to this was perfect. The entire poem is made to send out a simple message of missing someone, yet when reading the poem, that message could be interpreted as being something else.

    By the end of it, the poem goes from being somewhat complex, to extremely simple. I liked that a lot.

    Nice work.
