My sadness is in your leaving
I felt I never said goodbye
I wish that I could see you
Before you set to fly
I’ll close, then, all the windows
To keep you here with me
But, love for you, won’t permit
For your spirit must go free
If you can’t… fly… back to me
Please then… hover above
Forever… in love
My tired eyes can’t take it
My heart just feels so weak
But, yet in my ears, darling
It’s you, I still hear speak
The whispers of your loving voice
Those words you spoke so dear
Keeps my heart aching painfully
Please, try to stay so near
If you can’t… fly… back to me
Please then… hover above
Forever… in love
As I see you… there on the breeze
I love you so…so tenderly
If you can’t… fly… back to me
Please then… hover above
Forever… in love
I know I can’t hold you forever
I pain to let you go
But darling, through the tears
I just want you to know
If you can’t… fly… back to me
Please then… hover above
Forever… in love
Michael,
These words should be set to music, if they are not already. This poem would make a wonderful song. Loss and more specifically, lost love, has been a universal topic for writers, since the beginning of time, or so it seems. This poem further adds to the beauty often formed in the wake of devastation.
Welcome to Author's Den!
All the best and Have a great weekend,
Jill
