Not here

What is the light
So empty
What is the night
So lonely
What is a meal
So tasteless
Why even feel
So senseless
Then I fear
You're not here
To enlighten me
To comfort me
To fill me
To love me
Yes I fear
You're not here
What is a home
So confining
What is a Stone
So undermining
What is tomorrow
Never come
Deep in sorrow
I am numb
Then I fear
You're not here
To free me
To encourage me
To accompany me
To love me
Yes I fear
You're not here
