I just stay here.

Those words
I'll always be there
Those words
best friends, forever
Those words
trust me it's okay
Those words
I won't walk away
Those words
I won't let you down
Those words...
But you turn around.
You turn away
you don't stay
the words fade
as I linger and wait
in a sunless shade.
I hate saying "too late"
for you to get back
my trust but I must
hang on to...
Those words.
Because you..
remain alive within
the heart that's been worn thin
carrying the past and the perhapses.
