A lost love

-Keith

You leave me standing here,

Hopeful of your return,

You were all that I held dear,

Yet I still stand here and yearn.


I yearn for your tender touch

That made the world fall away,

Oh, how I love you so much,

So here I still stay.


I stay here where we separated,

On that fateful night,

When you thought my love overrated,

And you took away the light.


Now everything is dark,

And without you love seems forgotten,

You took away the spark

And upon your leaving my life became rotten.


But still I wait like a dog for his master,

Hopeful of your return,

Even though it seemed you couldn't leave any faster,

For you, forever, I yearn.
