Babe, I have to go now. <br />You know I have no choice. <br />I thought I'd not ask for promises <br />But stay still and hear my voice. <br /> <br />Promise me. <br />Don't let yourself be lonely. <br />Take a hand when you need to. <br />Take a vow if it pleases you. <br />But don't let yourself be lonely. <br /> <br />I know love has not been fair to you. <br />You want so hard to believe. <br />Nothing is ever quite what you think it is <br />But you never thought to leave. <br /> <br />No. <br />That's not fair. <br />And now.. <br />Don't let yourself be lonely. <br />Take a part for you that you can keep. <br />I'm beside you even though I sleep. <br />Please. <br />Don't let yourself be lonely.<br /><br />Linda Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-let-yourself-be-lonely/
