Without Your Love

Without your love

Without your love

I’m a sad eyed pup

With no one reaching down

To cuddle me up

Without your love

I’m a train with no track

No steam in the engine

No clickity clack clack

Without your love

I’m a lonesome ghost

With no house to haunt 

No scary riposte

Without your love

I’m an unwound clock

With no hands to tell time

No tick or no tock

Without you love

I’m a hermit crab

With no stranger’s shell

In which to dwell 

Without your love

I’m a little June bug

Flying uncoupled 

No ladybug to hug

Without your love

I’m a pair of roller skates

With no sidewalk cracks

And no knees to scrape

Without your love 

I’m a car with no wheels

No cookies to cut

No rubber to squeal

Without your love

I’m a birthday cake

With no candles to blow

No wishes to make

Without your love

I’m a boat with no oar

No wind in my sails

No harbor or shore

Without your love

I’m a circus clown

With no funny shoes

And no permanent frown

Without your love

I’m a scoop of ice cream

With no chocolate syrup

And no nuts or whipped cream

Without your love

I’m a lost ballon

Blowing in the breeze

On a cloudy afternoon 

Without your love

I’m all of the above

A mere meaningless thing

Without your love
