I would rather go blind, than see you walk away.

Thank you Etta James for those words, they hold a truth that almost scares me.
This is the last week, then she is gone out of my life. I don’t think I will see her again before she goes. They say parting is such sweet sorrow, but I just cant see that.
With such sorrow filled thoughts I have found motivation to write prolifically. My ‘writers block’ has gone.
So here is a small sample.


My heart only knows you,
All others fall away, I see them not,
Every hour, every minute I think of you.
In a crowded room we are alone,
As one by one, all others fade away.
Somehow you tricked my heart,
For now it can see you only, only you.


You walk away from me, such sorrow comes down,
Like nights velvet curtain, turns my world to black.
I have known your soul since the start of time,
Perpetual desire will stand for all time.
So empty my life until I saw you
Then in your eyes I found my life returned to me.
Without knowing you saved my soul,
Now anguish as you turn your back.
Did you see me, could you feel this way,
As you walk away I reach for you.
To stop these storm clouds from gathering around my heart
Please don’t go, stay here just so I can see you.
Even if you never feel for me, I will live happily,
Just to see smile, your eyes, to hear your voice.
Oh how I wish you wouldn’t go, out of my life,
Take with you my soul, for I need it no more.
It belongs to you, keep it and do with it what you will.

I think I should say something about my spelling, from time to time I will get one or two words wrong. Sometimes my thoughts spill out so fast its all I can do to get it down before it fades from my memory. So be kind.
