Left Behind

I stand outside; rain stinging my face Looking to this wide open space Hoping for a single trace Of what you left behind Reaching up I grasp for air Hoping death will take me there Needing you; do I dare? I’m who you left behind A soulless heart consumed with pain Now signaled by this blood, this stain Love so true has now been slain I won’t be left behind So close I can almost touch your face Your arms around me; that sweet embrace As you whisper, “This is no place” For the one you left behind Coming back from Heaven’s door In angel’s wings; upon the shore I’m left to see that I am more Than what you left behind
