I wish you could stay
We’ve too many games still to play
And too many songs, we’ve left unsung
We’ve too much going, to come undone

I wish you could stay
To keep those hungry wolves at bay
We’ve so much to do before we’re done
Can’t you see, that you’re the one

I wish you could stay
To help me find my path, find my way
I’m helpless with my heart unstrung
Without your fire, I’m cold, I’m numb

I wish you could stay
Put those leaving thoughts away
Shut them down, leave them dead
Think of only us instead

I wish you could stay
Can’t you be convinced, can’t you be swayed
You’re the man for me, you’re the only one
Who burns me like the August sun

I wish I could stay
But I’ve given all my love away
I fed my heart to the flames
A pawn inside your hurtful games

I wish I could stay
But there’s nothing more that I can say
You leave me lonely, steal my dreams
…it was never more than that it seems!

Nice and well penned. Love could be whimsical and temperamental, coming unannounced and may go without warning. It needs careful nurturing and commitment by both couples to keep its flame burning. A lovely piece of poetry written from the heart. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
