Ne Me Quitte Pas

If you go away
 you tear my heart from my breast
 and tears drip from my opened chest.
Come back to me
 remember the love we shared
 and life can be restored once more unbared.
Not a word,
 not a single tear
 as you step away.
Leave me then,
 slip into the darkness of night
 and let me be.
