Without You

I am so sorry for the things I've done and said
Without you, my soul and heart feels lost and dead
I have always loved you, only now do I realise how much
What I wouldn't give to just again feel your touch

I know how I treated you was wrong
That you're probably tired of this song
The pain I caused you, I know can't be undone
I allowed fear to make me run

Your arms are the safety that I need
My heart now continues to bleed
I'm so scared, I don't know what is day or night
My soul is becoming black, with no entrance for light

Time just continues to go on, but I no longer care
I guess I could open my eyes, but I know you won't be there
Confusion ruled me, and I tried to turn it all against you
I made you cry, and turned your heart all shades of blue

I can't take it back, Lord if only I could
I'd turn back the hands of time, I would
You'd still be with me, but truth is you're not
The pain is searing me in half, starting with my heart

You are what I've always wanted, I swear it's true
If you don't believe me, I don't blame you
Two wrongs don't make a right, I thought it might
Now hear I am left cold and alone, unable to fight

Every second without you seems like eternity or longer
They say pain is suppose to only make you stronger
Without you though, I can't see any tomorrow
Instead all I feel is more pain and constant sorrow

What's been only days, seems like a lifetime or two
I'm so sorry my baby that I hurt you
I'd do anything to make things right between you and me
I know I probably should just stop and let you be

My heart though keeps calling, it won't let you go
And at all risks, I had to tell you...I had to let you know
That I love you now, and forever always will
Every moment that we've shared has been honestly real

There will never be another love for me like you again
You are more than a lover, truly my best friend
I thought I'd find relief in taking a few days to think
Instead now I find myself deep in an ocean, about to sink

I have no right to ask you to come back and love me
I know that you should walk away, and leave me in my misery
But I also know that you have half my heart and soul
Together only, will either of us be completely whole

So please, if you have any love left for me in your heart
Give us another chance, for a brand new start
I promise I won't hurt you no more, I'll only love you like I use to
Faithful and strong, I promise to you I'll be true

Think about this, I know it's a big decision to make
But listen with your heart please, for both our sakes
Tears glisten on my cheek and fall on my pillow tonight
Dreams of you overtake me, until I wake in morning light

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Very painful, and so nicely written. Very nicely done.

Aimster, this is a very heartfelt cry to your love. I could tell the pain that you're feeling. It sounds sincere to me. I hope that your love thinks so, too, and gives you another chance. Thanks for sharing.

Love To All,
Ethel

Aimster,

Best to you. I feel your sadness.
Your poem has me wondering as to what went wrong?
