Every Time I Look At You Poem by Prince ....

Every time I look at you
the pain is real, and coming through
and every time I ask why- y
you just cant seem too reply

every time I look away
I feel alone in this very day
Every one is here to stay
But I fear I am not welcome here

Every thing is coming undone
And I can not go on
I am not grasping why
You just won’t be mine

And every day I am not with you
I am not sure if I will pull through
But every chance I seem to get
I screw it up and you love me less

Your eyes they haunt this very soul
They shine like the stars above
And yet feel like I am in the dark and alone
Your touch makes me feel at home

If you would not mind
Could you explain to me?
Why, you and I weren’t meant to be
It seems fate has caught up to me

I stand in this hallow home
Were I was once never alone
For days I’ve cried, (pause)
Just wondering why.

What could I have done better?
You leave me here alone and bitter
And I don’t understand what went wrong
With you and me but it seems the past is gone
