Please Come Back

I close my eyes,
Try to imagine you back in my life
I start to cry as I think about
How everything I once thought
Was here forever
Just up and disappears.
Turn up the music to soothe my achy heart,
But every song reminds me of you.
Every second I'm away from you
Leaves an indentation in my heart.
You could care less but
I still love you the same.
No amount of pain can take away the
Love I have for you.
I love you more than life,
Need you more than the air I breathe.
I wish you could see these pages,
Saturated with tears.
People around me wondering what's wrong.
I shake them off only hoping for your gentle touch.
They say it's a lovely day,
Green grass,
The sun's shinig.
I look around. I don't see it.
My skies are gray,
My heart full of pain.
I see you face as a faint image
And I smile.
It quickly diminishes.
Thoughts of you leaving fill my mind.
I try to push them out
But they grab me, dragging me deep into nigritude.
I shout out your name
Hoping you'll grab my hand
Pull me back into the light.
I keep calling your name
Only to hear a echo in return.
My tears fall as darkness
Capsizes on me. . .
