Never leave me I plead unto you, <br />Why is it that you must do this to me? <br />I can’t bear the emptiness without you. <br />Whatever you do, don’t leave me standing feeling blue, <br />Just take one look at me and try to see. <br /> <br />All I ever tried to do was to offer you my love, <br />Across my heart did your cruel claws rake. <br />Strong as ever, still stands my un-shattered love. <br />Radiant and strong, symbolised in the beauty of the dove, <br />But you were only prepared to take, take, take. <br /> <br />Why I could not leave you I do not know, <br />Maybe my love for you was too strong to forsake. <br />Please don’t go, for it is for you the seeds of love I sow. <br />I can only find my passion for you expand and grow, <br />Even after the pain and fear that you cause and make. <br /> <br />These feelings of mine I cannot explain, <br />But there is one thing of which I can be sure; <br />I am prepared to go with you, through times of thunder and rain. <br />Disregarding your cruelty and the pain, <br />My battered heart will forever with love remain pure. <br /> <br />Caring for any other than yourself you do not, <br />This whole thing to you is a game and a lark. <br />You walk out on me screaming at me to go and rot; <br />Piercing into my heart, feeling as though I have been shot, <br />Left alone, choking in the dark. <br /> <br />***<br /><br />Jimmy Watkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/choking-in-the-dark/
