A Gift of Love

A Gift of Love

A Poem by James Wells

You say it's just a few weeks, I'd say it's a year.
'Cause baby, time's different, when you're not right here.
You're sailing away, in this ship that you've built. 
I'm left to wipe up all the tears that you've spilled. 
I feel lonely and weak, as I struggle for breath. 
Quote me lonely and empty, nevertheless. 
Unwrap your blank presents, reciprocate fear.
Just bring back your bones, I need you right here.

But I'd give you mine, you know that I would.
I don't need it my love, so maybe I should. 
But you'd regret me simply for the love I would give. 
I did it for you, because you deserve to live. 

You said that I was an undeniable sight. 
As I sauntered around, stealing the light.
The darkness grew angry, shivering quick. 
That's when I explained, I needed to split.
You won't follow your heart for it doesn't quite beat.
It just stays on the sidewalk, broke incomplete.
 
But I'd give you mine, you know that I would.
I don't need it my love, so maybe I should. 
But you'd regret me simply for the love I would give. 
I did it for you, because you deserve to live. 

Love lingered softly, as I looked in your eyes. 
All the words in the world don't make up for the time. 
The truth is I'm angry, hurt and ashamed. 
I bought you this ring, I'd give you my name.
You would not have it because you don't feel the same.
So now the words that you spoke to me, bring me my fame. 

But I'd give you mine, you know that I would.
I don't need it my love, so maybe I should. 
But you'd regret me, honestly, for the love I gave.
I did it in the hope it'd be you I would save.

I'm just looking to keep people entertained. It's important to me that I do as much as I can to give hope to the hopeless. We need it the most. But I also do say some comedic things occasionally, b.. more..
