"Sorry, I can't stay"

by Crystal Elizabeth - Capricorn

Tears are falling down my cheek.
You promise that you wouldn't leave.
You didn't keep that promise that night.
You opened that door wide, and said.
"Sorry, I can't stay."
Slamed it there in my face.

No kisses from your lips to mine,
Or my lips to yours
Since you walked out that door.
Now I lie here awake.
Hoping, dreaming 
That you will stop and think.

Think again of what you've done to me.
Think again of how we feel for eachother.
Think again of why you left me.
I lie here.
All I can hear is "Sorry, I can't stay."

Reason for writing:

    Someone really special left my life this day.  I was hurting and I wanted someone besides my sdlf to know how I felt that day.
