I die a little inside

Thank you Jon for reading and commenting. I really appreciate it.

[Parkinsonspoet]

As with a large number of your poems there are intense emotions here written in a smooth stule AlexandratheLate

Sometimes the paintings, sometimes the poem but always a muse whether past or present.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Another beautiful combo...you are talented AtL!! Just out of curiosity, which comes first, the painting or the poem? Or does it change based on subject matter?

I die a little inside


I am so afraid I’m going to lose you
Because of all the things I put you through
Every time I hurt you, I die a little inside
I try to fight it but I know it’s my fear and pride


Baby I don’t want to ever lose you
Please say you’ll never go away
Look at me with eyes of understanding
Say love will carry us someway


Losing you would be the end of my world
Into nothing my heart would dry up and curl
Without you with me, my life would never be the same
People play with lives and hearts, but love is not a game


Baby I don’t want to ever lose you
Please say you’ll never go away
Look at me with eyes of understanding
Say love will carry us someway


stay forever, please say you’ll never leave
Without you here, my heart cannot conceive
Sad and painful memories would be my only friends
Let me prove my love to you, please let me make amends


Baby I don’t want to ever lose you
Please say you’ll never go away
Look at me with eyes of understanding
Say love will carry us someway
