You whisper softly,
I shush your lips,
Brush your frown
Into a smile,
Beg you not to leave
“Please stay a while?”
You slowly raise your hand,
Fingers caress my cheek,
Eyes plead with me
To let you speak
“I love you forever”
You say as you drift away,
I plead with you,
Beg you to stay.
My love, my love
I will always grieve thee
And if you truly loved me
Why did you leave me?

oh def sad..being seperated from the one you love is not good...been there and done that...it sucks...nice write though.
Oh so sad and touching... the ending could be the chorus in a song.
Sadly some questions never get answered the way we desire.Great verse!

i think sometimes loving someone can also mean leaving..it's hard though and many question will be unanswered..sad and touching lines
lovely farewell - need to listen eh?
beautiful lines
Oh my.. the longing and sorrow is palpable..I have to wonder why our hearts are tested ..
sad, but good poem!!
A tender poem full of longing.
Lovley flow and a beautiful take on the prompt.
Beautifully poignant.
Of course, this reminded me of the feelings one has when a loved one died--what you may have meant--though it can be much wider.
Thank you for your kind comments folks.
manicddaily ~ yes, it was about death (which always comes too soon for the observer (who loves - as in friendship)), the passing of man I had great feelings for.

This is so tender and sad!
this feels very much like deaths goodbye, very sad
Heart wrenching, sigh...
It's kinda of common this to happen... but not so common to find beautiful ways to express the feeling.
Just beautiful!
Thank you for your kind comments folks - unable to write this sooner as PC problems and now working on borrowed laptop.

Sad and poignant, a visiting ghost.
