She Knows The Score

I call her on the phone I ask, are you alone? She answers, yes I am I say, I’ll be right over She says, oh please hurry I need a gentle hug One that will put me at ease I knock on her door Before I enter she knows the score She whispers, come on in She asks, how have you been? I said, that I’m fine, how about you? She says, I’m still the same When you’re gone my hearts in pain I take her in my arms Knowing she’ll hurt some more When I leave to walk out the door But as I go to leave She grabs me by the sleeve She asks, please can’t you stay Until the darkness goes away I said, you know how it is I have someone back at home She cries as she asks me Please don’t leave me alone But once again out the door I go It’s time for me to leave Once again she’s left alone In her bed to silently grieve 9-27-05/RJH
