One Last Night

I know we have to say goodbye
and go our seperate ways.
But please hold onto my hand
and help me through one day.

The darkness is overwhelming.
It's nothing I thought it'd be.
My dreams have all frozen
and my heart no longer drives me.

Why did this have to happen?
Why pronounce the word "Leave"?
Is this some twist of ironic intent
that to love is to lose and to grieve?

Please...promise to stay with me
only a few more hours and then
we can move on in this life
and find that other Where & When

The night is so cold now.
I feel at one with its embrace.
I wish that I could say "I love you"
from this, my final resting place.

Sad and poignant from beginning to end but also wrapped in a lot of deep emotion and honesty.

This is the best thing that you have written. You have touched on a place and experience that is uniquely human. I loved it.

From the innermost recesses of your heart, pours forth this deeply emotional and intense composition Lori
Break ups are always hard, but it would be even harder to stay with someone who didn't love you !
