Left Me Here
"Stay right here beautiful,
I'll be right back.
I'm really sad to leave you here,
But I don't know how long this will last."
He leaves me smiling;
He leaves me waiting.
When it starts to get quiet,
I get to anticipating.
People come and go,
But I can't pull myself to
Go with them, I'm too busy
Waiting here for you.
Friends will say
They will help you await,
But they have things to do; after all,
It's not their job to clear your plate.
Move on already;
Move out of this mental state;
He's not coming back here.
You have no use to wait.
And now it's been so long ago,
My answer is clear-
I forgot the point in waititng,
Because he lied and left me here.
