Grievings

I feel so secure when you are near
And so alone when you’re not here.
You tell me that you will soon be leaving
My mind fills with fear, my heart begins grieving.
I’m so afraid you’ll walk out that door
Like so many others before
Those who went away and never returned.
I think by now that my heart should have learned.

-That a love is easier lost than found
-That dream bearing ships soon run aground
Yet I still feel so lost when you’re not around.
