Don’t Leave Me For Another Poem by Mark Heathcote

Don’t leave me for another
You are my lover
Don’t turn your back on us
Let us speak and discuss
What it is that’s changed?
And left us feeling estranged.

Don’t leave me for another
Because you are my lover
My first and my last for all time
So say you’ll always be mine
Darling don’t just pout
Say we’ll work it out.

Oh lucid dream is he dreaming too
Dreaming of a microcosm imbue
With rainbows - roses without thorns
Second chances; where neither one scorns.

Oh lucid dream is he dreaming too
Dreaming of uncertainties dark ensue.
Only to climb and not feigned of will…
But in love with life and me still
Climb, climb, climb and love me still.

Oh don’t leave me for another
You are my lover
And I’ll never get tired or tire
Or desire another
You are my first and my last forever
Because you, you are my lover.
