Don't Walk Away

As all of you know when I'm running on a burn out, I try my hand at something different...a tear jerker solves my problem!

Don't walk away from all we've shared...

You played my mind with promises and oaths,
made me believe your love, a total engross.
How can you walk out and leave me alone,
I'm not about to run off and give up our home?
You believe a new love's captured your heart,
I'll give you a year before she up and departs.

How can you walk away, leaving me hurting inside,
I'm asking you to take a look at the other side?
Please, don't march off, leaving me without a heart,
I'm not strong...it's tearing my soul apart.
Take a moment, review your mind, give it a chance to unwind,
I'll not be around nursing this painful heart of mine.

CHORUS:

Why are you going away and leaving me blue,
you captured my heart and now you say we're through?
I gave you my heart and soul a long time ago,
as you vowed you loved me and wouldn't let me go.
You've played with my mind for many year,
as I bared my soul and kissed away your tears.

Think about the children and how they're going to feel,
don't you know they'll wonder...what's with this deal?
You might lose them forever and turn them away,
being emotional while visiting and don't want to stay.
It's too late to say your sorry, they've lived with this guilt,
knowing you left them, believing they got the jilt.

Don't walk away from all we've shared,
leaving me stranded, empty and bare.
I know you'll change and regret what you've done,
as the novelty wears off and loves coming undone.
Here's where my heart and love belongs,
don't walk away and leave me without a song.

CHORUS:

Why are you going away and leaving me blue,
you captured my heart and now you say we're through.
I gave you my heart and soul a long time ago,
as you vowed, you loved me and wouldn't let me go.
You've played with my mind for many years,
I bared my soul and kissed away your tears.

A pen from the heart of one who understands the hurt.

Infatuation is about enticement and blind passion. Infatuation is the ice cream cone that melts with the first rays of sunlight.

Love is fulfilling a mature decision. Love is about commitment and dedication to the betterment of ourselves and our children. Love is about valuing and cherishing "Till death do us part."

In March of this year, Jodi and I will celebrate our 56th wedding anniversary. Nothing in life could be sweeter. I am blessed beyond belief.

For all we have in life is Love.

Richard

Dear Barbara, what great lyrics, these words make me cry. I would never want to be in the position of the person for whom these words are intended.
I guess suffering brings out dramatic poems. Emile
