Lonely can I be
Wondering
Where everyone could have gone
Leaving me
All alone
Lonely can be
Heartbreak
Broken heart sobbing
Into silence
All alone
Waiting
For a saviour to bring love
Togetherness
To sip the sweet nectar
Of belonging
Not
Not
All alone.

Can I be
Someone who
Loves
Takes care of all things
Dear to me?
Can I?
Can I be
This kind person
I want to be?
Or
Will the whole thing
Escape, bypass this
Wondering Can I person
That’s me?

I know you haven’t seen me
Nor anything I do
Know
I’m just a back screen
Meaning nothing
Nothing
Ever to you.
I know I won’t be front and centre
In anything you do
But then I don’t care
You see
For you’re nothing to me
Or is anything
You ever do.

When I hear
Your heart beat
I want more
More time to love you
More laughs
And
So much more
Don’t go away
Don’t be gone
Forever
Stay with me
Stay
Here forever
Forever more.

No more can I say
Love
Will triumph today
No more
No more will I do
The things that make
You love me too
No more
No more can I be
The one
You want me to be
No more
No more will I stand
Close by loving thee
No more
No more.

Feeling peaceful
Feeling calm
The sun
Has come up
It has shone
Lighting all the world
Showing the way
To
Happiness, joy
Everything needed
To complete
This
One and only day.

Take me to the time
Life was great
All
Sublime.
Let me feel
The warm rays of love
Penetrating
Crises
Soothing heartache
Forever
For all time.
Show me how
I can give
Just like
In
That wondrous time.

I have lived before
I have lived a life
In the distant past
Good or bad I had
A life before memories
Faded
In the distant past
They didn’t last
As new ones evolved
Different but built on
That life lived
In the distant past.

Protect me
From
Myself and others
Who think
They know me
Don’t let them
Be
So condescending
Trying
To control me.
Protect me
From
My disparaging thoughts
My history
Let me
Be
A better person
A happy
Pleasant person
With you
Protecting
Me.

Totally
Feel my heart beat
Sometimes
In excitement
Totally
Skip a beat.
The thump, thump
Thump
Goes on for my eternity
Stopping only
As
I cease, cease to be.
That’s the end of me
My eternity
No longer will I feel
Feel
My heartbeat.
