Fried's "Ohne dich"

Preparing for a German lesson I found a few of Erich Fried's poems in English... isn't that nice? :)
Here's one.
Without you

Not nothing
without you
but not the same

Not nothing
without you
but perhaps less

Not nothing
but less
and less

Perhaps not nothing
without you
but not much anymore

by Erich Fried
Translation by M. Kaldenbach
