Don't Go
My chest is hurt
My heart in pain
As I face the possibility
Of never seeing you again.
To never hear your laugh
ringing in my ears
To never see you smile
As you wipe away my tears
To never feel the strength
Of your arms wrapped around me
To never look into your eyes
And see my own true beauty
To never lay my head
On the broad expanse of your chest
To never sleep again
In the embrace that gave me rest
I cannot believe
that we are through
I cannot envision my
Life without you
I’ve waited, watched,
Stopped and stood
I’ve endured such pain,
At the whims of your moods
You know my love
Is intensely real
Yet you will not
Accept what you surely feel
So once again I’m here –
deserted, alone
Picking up the pieces in
what could have been “our” home
