not tonight.

I close my eyes - I see your face,
I remember when you said you wanted space.
But this pain is more than I can take,
you took my heart and let it break.

 

Now I'm screaming please come back,
'cause I can't keep myself on track.
Everything else fades to black,
my heart won't survive this attack.

 

As much as I want to - as much as I try,
I can't stop the way I'm feeling inside.
I sit, I think, I wonder why,
you decided to say goodbye.

 

You said there's hope, but not tonight,
You told me that I shouldn't lose sight.
But at the end of this tunnel I see no light,
I'm giving up on this endless fight.

 

So tell me, what did I do that was so wrong?
As I'm left here alone trying to grow strong,
I'm praying that it won't take too long,
'til you come back to where you belong.

 

And if that day should never come,
if this is the end - if you're finally done.
If you've decided you're the one,
to leave me here, slowly coming undone.

 

Then I guess there's nothing left to say,
you've moved on - you've walked away.
I'll take what's left of me and pray,
that I'll come out of this okay.

Wow! I absolutely loved this. Your lines flowed so effortlessly; so much so, that it almost got to a point where I forgot that the lines rhymed. Haha, I really liked the fact that the situation that you wrote about was so universal, and so simple, yet you managed to express it in a personal, multi-dimensional way. The fourth stanza was my favourite! Great write,
