Love

Fades to Black 
For your arms unsuccessfully I reach 
As you walk away and out of my life 
For your love I yearn and so beseech 
As you turn your back upon my strife 
You are too deaf to listen to my pleas 
As you spurn my begging not to leave 
You are blind to see me on my knees 
As you leave me to be alone and grieve 
In my heart you’re the one I so desire 
As you leave me to crumple in a heap 
In my love the flame leaps ever higher 
As you leave me to sit alone and weep 
I promise I will not stand in your way 
As you walk out with no turning back 
I promise I will think of you each day 
As you leave everything fades to black
