Last Ones Left

Last Ones Left

A Poem by Michael (Letters and Lifelines)

There's a feeling in my dreams...
Where I get lost in all I see.

When the daylight fades the scene...
I like to think of you with me.

If the world around you starts to burn...
Lighting up the sky with brightest flames.

If you don't know where to turn...
Try to hear me call your name.

And if you're hiding,
You hide it well.
And if you're trying,
Then I can't tell.
But if you're hiding,
Then just come out.
And if you're trying,
Then say it loud.
If you don't know what to do,
We all still ask without a clue.
Just say that you want to.
And if you try, then I'll try, too.

There's a feeling when you're here...
It never goes quite as I plan.

When I see you coming near...
I start to shake with nervous hands.

If you see the rain break through...
And start to fall upon the Earth.

If there's no one left for you...
I'll help you suffer when you're hurt.

And if you're hiding,
You hide it well.
And if you're trying,
Then I can't tell.
But if you're hiding,
Then just come out.
And if you're trying,
Then say it loud.
If you don't know what to do,
We all still ask without a clue.
Just say that you want to.
And if you try, then I'll try, too.

There's a feeling when you're gone...
I let it haunt me all the time.

I've tried to catch you for so long...
But I always fall too far behind.

If you see me start to leave...
And I throw a glance your way.

You won't be wrong if you believe...
That I just want to stay.

And I can't...
Keep going on.
Feeling like...
Everything is wrong.
And I can't...
Lay down to rest,
Feeling like...
We're the last ones left.

And I can't...
Keep going on.
Without you...
Everything is wrong.
And I can't...
Lay down to rest,
Knowing we...
Could be the last ones left.

Do you want me?
Because I want you...
If you try,
Then I'll try, too...
Just say that you want to...
Because I really want you.

Do you need me?
Because I need you...
If you try,
Then I'll try, too...
Just say that you want to...
Because I really need you.

Do you want me?
Because I want you...
If you try,
Then I'll try, too...
Just say that you want to...
Because I really want you.

Just say that you want to.

It would be so nice if people weren't always so complicated. Why is love always so complicated? This piece does a really great job of capturing that, as well as the complicated emotions. Nicely written....

I enjoyed the gentle ride in the poem. I like the questions of love. These questions leave us wanting to know that the love is true and you are okay. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
