While Here I Lie
By Jackie
You said goodbye that summer eve,I think in tact my heart would be,The day you left came all to soon,There's no one left out there for me...And sometimes off in thought I'll sit,Imagining you're by my side,And in my hand is yours I hold,The touch that long ago had died...Forgiveness comes when pain forgot,The pain you never meant to cause,But you walked away, that's all I see,This pain is far from lost...I'm wishing that you'd walk back home,Back to the arms that held you so,But the wishing well is all but dried,There's nowhere for this wish to go...The clouds roll in so very gray,They promise rain to wash these tears,The sound is comfort in my heart,The only comfort had in years...Still by my bed your picture sits,And looks at me with eyes alive,Though photographs speak not a word,It speaks to me while here I lie.
