YOUR PRESENCE IS MISSED

I feel lost without you,
Like an Englishman in Spain with a map of France.
I feel odd without you,
Like the one man at a ball doing a lone dance.

I feel weird without you,
Like an action-thriller that's really a romance.
I feel hurt without you,
Like someone with their head in a nest of red ants.

I feel bad without you,
Like a boy given a gift who doesn't say "Thanks".
I feel daft without you,
Like somebody who is always involved with pranks.

I feel scared without you,
Like someone who 'gets lucky', but has on crap pants.
What am I without you,
But a big garden centre without any plants.
