coz i can see
the pain in your eyes
your body stiff with tension
but i want to hear
the joy in your noise
that i yearn to listen to
the rustling sounds of hay in your cage
the chewing of a happy mouth
little light steps
you prance in the twilight
and wee hours of the morn
don't leave me
don't leave me
please don't leave me
we said 12 years
no less perhaps more
ill put in effort
and make this work
dont leave me dont
but i still can see
the pain in your eyes
your body stiff with tension
but i still want to hear
the joy in your noise
the light in your eyes as they glisten
stay by my side
close your eyes
as i caress ur face
oh how i wish
i wish that
this will not and never be the last time
instead it is
the first of many
many more times to come
good years to come
of fun, laughter and joy
and for eternity
coz i can see
the pain in your eyes
your body still stiff with tension
but i still want to hear
the joy in your noise
that i so yearn to listen
so stop this pain
ease my ache
only you can make it
go..
away..
please get well soon
