If You Leave

It's so quiet. It's so strange. I've never heard silence so loud before. The drum beats loud and echoes out leaving us alone in this emptiness. Come on, love don't leave me hanging from this cliff. Don't leave me alone to die. I know times are hard and you can't stand on your own, but that doesn't mean you have to leave. Don't run away from this pain. Just come into my arms and stay. At the end of the day the rain will be blown over and all the flowers will be bloomed. Even the toughest storms leave beauty for the eyes to love. Don't get swallowed up in the shadows. I'll be your light. I'll guide you, just follow my feet. I'll lead you into me and hold you until your numb. You're standing in the ocean welcoming the salt water into your body. Dry your eyes and swim to the shore because I'll be waiting there. Just please don't go. Because if you leave I might just have to follow.
