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
