When We Are Apart

It is when we are apart
That they administer their treatment to you
I hear stories about your suffering
You suffer with someone else by your side

It is when we are apart
That life brings its burdens to you
I hear you whisper in weariness
You labor with no one else by your side

It is when we are apart
That the sun takes its light away from me
My blood changes from red to black
Darkness and shadows crowd by my side
