Wish You Were Here
Hang up your coat and stay awhile,
down here among us thieves.
This is your mess here after all,
I’m not the one who leaves.
Pull up a chair, dust off a spot,
prepare to be astounded.
I hope you’re not afraid of filth,
for I haven’t yet rebounded.
Don’t be afraid of a couple tears,
they’re commonplace these days.
I cannot help the times they fall,
nor how long the heartache stays.
Don’t fear the darkened silence here,
it’s more livable that way.
Beneath the shadows, away from light,
I can ignore the pain of day.
What’s your rush, just stay awhile,
and see the world you’ve made.
You needn’t flee or be distressed,
here in the home of the betrayed.
Ok, alright, well stay in touch,
and don’t you be a stranger.
I’ll tell the others it’s no-go,
I tried but couldn’t change her.
I’ll still be here if you decide
you love me after all.
I’ll be the one with shattered heart,
my back against the wall.
Tears and shame, a vacant hope,
and your reasons still unclear.
I live in hurt and loneliness,
I truly wish that you were here.
