Hearts gone cold

Times Up

I hear it carried across the breeze
The thought brings me to my knees

I could beg, whimper and plead
The signs are there if I will read

I want you to remember how it felt
When at your alter I often knelt

But that is just my wishful thinking
As I see that the ship is sinking

I want, I want is all I ever seem to say
The mantra repeats through my day

I only tell you that my heart is broke
So you'll know it wasn't a joke

Were I the author I'd never choose
This ending in which I will lose

Love is defined as being selfless
Can it it be true as I'm so selfish?

You were by far the better part
Of every beat from my broken heart

I know you, and that you fear
The way others think of you dear

Hear me when I say you're the best
You simply outclass all the rest

I hope when my name is brought
You'll think of me when you I taught

Or you'll remember that I was kind
If you needed help it's me you'd find

You'll haunt me forever it's true
Better than losing the memory of you

I'll toss and turn trying to sleep
As memories of you quietly creep

You'll say we are no longer friends
I can't accept that's how this ends

I promise that I'm not trying to plead
To give excuses is what I need

Your a handful, but all I want to hold
How silly of me to be so bold

I've cried for so very long
Given the finality of this song

God how you've made me so happy
One look at you and I'm all sappy

Promise me that you'll never tell
My secrets you've kept so well

Go ahead and close that door
Don't look back at me on the floor

You can be anything you want
Your wit, brains and beauty to flaunt

So before you tell me I already know
That you love me but you have to go
