Please Stay...

I keep replaying
Your words in my head

"Don't go,
I'm begging you,
Please stay..."

The broken record torments me
Day and night

I didn't know
It would end like this

I didn't know
How bad it would hurt

I would've stayed up
All night with you
If only I'd known...

Now here I am,
Sitting at your grave
With your voice
Whispering to me
"Please stay..."

Nothing...

to add, except my condolences. There is always that last but... We don't know what the future holds, and it's a damned good thing that we don't, and we can't fix the past. Otherwise, we would be rushing to "better days" and fixing the past; forgetting to live in the now. Very well done, ~ Geez.
