Walk Out The Door

I'm breathing hard as your leaving

I never thought it would be this way

You take my hand and tell me "it's okay"

But we both know its not

A tear rolls down my face

I can't take it

I can't take this

Just say you love me

As your leavin

Take my heart and

Keep it safe

Tell me you'll miss me

Tell me I'm yours 

Cause I can't take this

Pain anymore

Kiss me slowly 

And walk out the door

I'm left alone in this old house

The smell of you lingers in the sheets

The nightmares keep me awake

Without you I'll never be complete

But...

Just say you love me

As your leavin

Take my heart and

Keep it safe

Tell me you'll miss me

Tell me I'm yours 

Cause I can't take this

Pain anymore

Kiss me slowly 

And walk out the door

It's two months latter and still no word

It's almost like you forgot

But then I hear the phone ring

But it can't be you

I wish away the thought

A voice is on the phone

They something's' happened

That I should come right now

My heart drops

I'm chilled to the bone

But then I remember...you

Saying you love me

Taking my heart

And keeping it safe

You telling me I'm yours

Cause the pain

I can't take it anymore

You kissed me slowly 

And walked out the door

I see you laying there

The white room fills my eyes

You've got an hour to live

I drop to my knees and cry

As I remember you

Saying you love me

Taking my heart

And keeping it safe

You telling me I'm yours

Cause the pain

I can't take it anymore

You kissed me slowly 

And walked out the door

I take your hand

You look me in the eye

You say "I know what's happening" 

And I can't help but cry

You took my hand and you said

"I'll love you but take your heart back

I'm going to another place 

But you keep it safe

I'll always be yours

Cause I can't take this

Pain anymore

Now kiss me slowly 

And walk out the door"

Author's Note

If anyone didn't understand, this is about a couple in which the man is in the military and cannot write to his wife. She thinks he forgot about him, until she gets the phone call telling her that he is badly injured. He does not want her to be sad so he tells her to leave because he doesn't want her to see him dying.

But anyways I haven't wrote in a while so I did this. And I've never actually wrote lyrics before so...yeah. I hope everyone enjoys.

[TheLongest Flight]

I liked it. it reminded me of one of the "sparks" novel: DEAR JOHN. but it had a different ending but i felt the same emotion through this poem..:)

[Speak in Silence]

Awe, thank you! I love the sparks novels

[dreaming dame]

Beautiful:) sad, but still a great poem

[Speak in Silence]

Thank you

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for the Author's note. Hard to say goodbye in real life situations. I was a soldier for 15 years. A goodbye from a Soldier can leave fear and great sadness. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

You are very welcome. I find goodbyes hard just for a week or so. I couldn't imagine having to say goodbye for months and then not knowing if you were coming back alive or not.

[3rd Chance]

This poem holds a special place in my heart, like all military poems do, simply because it invokes in me - and probably all others in my vocation - what we fear the most. That we forever leave behind those we love when we enter the field. Though a few typos and misspellings bog down the heartfelt sorrow and depth somewhat, it pulls off its intent well, and reminds me of the "Forever & Always" song by Parachute. Well done!

[Speak in Silence]

I have so much respect for those who serve. I actually love that song (: Thank you for all the compliments (:

[3rd Chance]

I only hope we live up to that respect. :)

[Hester Vane]

I definatley had a lyrical quality to it. But its beautiful, full of emotion which you conveyed perfectly. I spotted on typo, "Its two months latter" should that be "its two months later" ? Anyway great job

[Speak in Silence]

Thank you (: I will fix that right away

[Fréyjä Helv..]

Simple but deeply heartfelt. There's not much to say here...

[Speak in Silence]

Thank you

[Panda11598]

I really love this! This is really deep. Tonight hasn't been the best night for me and just reading this gave me chills and I feel a bit better now. Your writing has a MAJOR affect on people. Don't stop. Ever!

[Speak in Silence]

Thank you (: I'm glad that it changed your feelings for the better

[Rob Santana]

What a deep write. More of a short story,I liked it. The end caught me off guard wasn't expecting that.
