My Darling

Is my pain not palpable darling?
Is my pain not real enough?
Do my pipes leak lies?

How long has it been darling?
Since you left?
Do I cross your mind darling?
When you stop to catch your breath

You were my everything darling
The sun that gave me life
How can I forget you darling?
When your memory tears through me like a knife

Will I die alone darling?
You promised you’d be by my side
I was your shadow darling
I stuck along for your ride

But you left me darling
With only the tender sweet ache
I’ve become accustomed too
Over the years
