Final Dance Poem by David Daykin

Looking at my yestedays I just see tomorrows.
As you walk away you have my heart chained down in sorrow.
Saying that it's never you, it's always on me.
Well tell me please.
What changes do you want to see?

And in the night I reach for you I want to pull you close.
I lie here vulnerable, my heart is open, exposed.
But next to me that space is empty in my bed.
And the only place I can hold you is in my thoughts, in my head.

I see you walking along with another man.
And I try so hard to be brave but I don't know if I can.
You know you should be here with me.
Well tell me please.
What changes do you want to see?

Should I make a fortune would it make our life complete?
Buy a boat and sail us both across the seven seas.
Would this make you happy or even break a smile.
Because without you I just walk these lonely miles.

All I ask is one final chance.
All I ask is give this love one more dance.
Look at me and you will see it's true.
I cannot live, love, anything with anyone but you.
Well tell me please.
What changes do you want to see?

Or do I still walk these long lonely miles.
With nothing for company but my empty smile.
