Your Poetry Dot Com - TIME I WENT AWAY

IS THERE ANY POINT IN HANGING ROUND?
SHOULD I PUT MY FEET BACK ON THE GROUND?
WOULD I HAVE LOST YOU ANYHOW?
I’D LIKE SOME ANSWERS PLEASE RIGHT NOW!

IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE YOU MINE?
TO KEEP YOU WITH ME FOR ALL TIME?
IF THERE’S NOT THEN I MUST SAY,
I THINK IT’S TIME I WENT AWAY.

I CAN’T GET OVER WHAT I SEE,
STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
IF I LEAVE IT’S BECAUSE OF YOU,
IGNORING ME, ... CAN’T YOU SEE?

I THINK I’LL PACK AND WALK TO TOWN.
I’VE LOST THE HAPPINESS I HAD FOUND.
AND IF I TURN AND LOOK BEHIND,
IT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE ON MY MIND.

OH GIRL I WILL COME RUNNING BACK,
I HOPE YOU KNOW THIS IS A FACT.
I COULDN’T STAND A DAY AWAY,
CAN I PLEASE COME BACK TO STAY?

I DON’T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOUR LOVE,
IT WAS SENT TO ME RIGHT FROM ABOVE.
AND IF YOU KEEP IGNORING ME,
THAT’S WHERE I’M GOING TO BE!

SO WON’T YOU DEAR PLEASE TURN AROUND.
CAN YOU SEE ME HERE DOWN ON THE GROUND?
WON’T YOU LIFT ME UP I’LL DO NO HARM?
WON’T YOU LET ME TAKE YOU IN MY ARMS?

I CAN’T GET OVER WHAT I SEE,
STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!
IF I CAN’T HAVE THIS PRECIOUS JEWEL,
I’VE BEEN A FOOL....YES A BIG FOOL!
