Terrified Poem

I had her, for a while,
And briefly we smiled.
But lately, it seems
That she’s gone.

It used to be,
That I and she,
Would laugh the night away.
But lately it seems,
That inside her dreams,
Something pulls her away.

And while I may manage,
To pull her back in,
I can tell that her heart isn’t in it.
Because whenever I see her,
Whenever she smiles,
That look in her eyes isn’t lit.

So I sit here and weep,
As I no longer sleep,
For I fear what I find in my dreams.
For during the night,
I relive our fights,
And I have no idea what it means.

I wish for the day
Where I know that she’ll stay
Though I have no idea when that’ll be.
I wish I could say
That I know a way
That she can be happy with me.

But I know that I don’t,
And I fear that she won’t
Have the will to figure it out.
Because if she’s gone
Then I know I was wrong,
And the love that we felt will go out.

It may take a while,
To find someone else,
For nobody begins to compare.
There is no other woman who
Makes my heart skip a beat;
Makes my stomach drop too.

And so I sit,
And I cry,
I have no other ideas.
At this point,
Please help,
I’ll try anything...

Just as long...
As it conquers...
Our fears.
