I am with you, but You are not with me Your body next to mine Mind elsewhere Heart with another Words with me terse Soft for the other Leaden feet Keep you here I want you gone With or without you I will survive
I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose.
Thanks for checking it out.

Thank you Kim. You just made me think of that old Harry Nilsson song, Without You. Yes there were many with the word with/without! I hadn’t thought about it until now 🥰
Such ache emanating from the situation. How is it that one can move on to another and become a ghost to the first 😦 Christine you are living proof there is life beyond.

You’re welcome, Christine. I was thinking U2, Nillson and Within You Without You by The Beatles. There are probably more.

I felt a sense of lament in the beginning, but I loved the resolve at the end that you (or the voice) matters more.
