My Heart Goes with You
Though I understand,
it doesn't feel right.
Conspiracies thrive
to hasten this night.
Permission's not granted
to alter our plight.
Something goes missing
when I'm not with you.
Keys to life's pleasures
tower high from view.
There's nowhere to go
and nothing to do.
The sands through the hourglass,
too quickly, sped.
Courage can't throttle
the thoughts in my head
on long, lonely nights
in our cold, empty bed.
Going brings sadness
and longing builds fear.
As uneasy chasms
of feelings draw near,
I worry and wonder
how safe you'll be, dear.
The evening has come---
farewell kiss, sad adieu.
You leave---
but a piece of my heart goes with you.
