All I Need Without You

Okay so... odd as this is, it came into my mind and out of my pen/keyboard as a rap song, more or less. Take it as a poem or as a song, but when I read it I can hear the beat. Hopefully you can hear it too


I don't understand why it has to percolate, escalate into

Something angry, accusatory, selfish is the word of the day

Love and kindness, turned to violence, frustration

Here's the secret, nothing to it, sing the next verse...

All I need is you
There's nothing in this damned world worth trying for,
Worth crying for, worth dying for
Without you

All consuming, the need to be right, need to be heard

The longer this silence, penetrates and consumes another day

Shit, none of this makes sense to me anymore, four

More minutes till I retreat, hide away all the pain and sing...

All I need is you,
There's nothing in this world worth trying for
Worth crying for, worth dying for
Without you

What else can we say? Going in circles day after day

An uppercut here, a low blow there, how can this be fair?

I can't grasp this, who can mask this? Tears and fears

Here's the secret, something to it, sing the last verse...

All I need is you
There's nothing in this world worth trying for
Worth crying for, worth dying for
Without you

One more breakdown, one more night on the couch

Maybe we'll return to this place, down on our knees

We'll cry out for His grace and the strength to see

Compassion, listening, your side and mind, singing...


All I need is you
There's nothing in this world worth trying for
Worth crying for, worth dying for
Without you

All we need is You
There's nothing in this life worth trying for
Worth crying for, worth dying for
Without You
