Now That Your Gone

I want you to go I want you to stay I want you to leave me alone I want you to talk I want you to care But all I feel is pain to the bone I want you to laugh I want you to cry I want you to sing me a song I want you to fight I want you to love But how can you now that you're gone

Very sad poem. I like the way it is though, it has the power to stir emotions in another person.
