You'll Never Leave Me - A Poem by Kailey Roark


You’ll Never Leave Me, by Kailey Roark

You say you love me,

And I believe,

The way you hug me,

The atmosphere we achieve.

The way you look,

Into my eyes,

My heart you took,

By surprise.

You’ll Never Leave Me.

 

You hold my hand,

as we walk,

never planned,

Our-love-filled talks.

I’ll never forget,

Your smell I love

The smell you let,

In from above.

You’ll Never Leave Me.

 

You don’t mind,

Me being boring,

Your heart is kind,

Our love is soaring.

I smile when,

I see your face,

I get a grin,

When I feel your embrace.

You’ll never leave me.

 

But now I pay the cost,

With tear-filled eyes,

For the love I lost,

With cloudy skies.

I shouldn’t have let you,

Do what you did,

We were two,

Until the secret you hid.

I thought you’d never leave me.

 

The phone call comes,

I can’t answer the phone,

What’s done is done,

And now I’m alone.

You told me you wouldn’t,

Now you have regrets,

Stop you? I couldn’t,

But you smoked cigarettes.

I thought you’d never leave me.

 

As I see you laying,

In the hospital bed,

Inside I am praying,

God, Take me instead!

You open eyes,

And try to hug me,

Not to my surprise,

You couldn’t reach.

I thought you’d never leave me.

 

The phone is still ringing,

And all I do is cry,

Because I never got the chance,

To say my last good-bye.

I still love you,

Even though I regret,

All the times I let you,

Smoke a cigarette,

You left me.
