I Am Nothing Without Love - VERIDIA

To tell you the truth, I am nothing without love

To tell you of love, it’s nothing without truth

And the truth is…

We pay the price for love

Even through dishonesty, false promising,

Abandoning the fragility of blood

Because when we finally see mortality,

Regret and anger can’t breed its hateful seed…

We live, we die, and in between, we breathe…

Just to feel our purpose in someone else’s need for our love.

In our impermanence, it lives on,

Because we bravely broke open this invisible vessel

And poured out our essence in the presence of our beloved.

It keeps me breathing, grateful for the bleeding,

The only reason my heart’s still singing in its cage of ribs.

And when it’s done with its song,

Everything I took and all that I gave,

Everything I lost, and all that I gained;

Was for love…

And it was worth it.
