A love so great

A Love So Great

As she sat on those bleak stairs
Tears welling in her eyes
It became apparent my efforts were in vain
I could do nothing to make my kitten smile
Now as she waits locked on top of a hill
It is with apprehension I interact
Tales of life containing tears with smiles
The tears of joy brought by a tender touch

Hours of days pass
Minutes failing the seconds within
Lasting a lifetime with each and every breath
Within my mind there lives a soul
Living breathing but no control

As my hands are dirtied my mind casts back
Thoughts of future, present, past
Side-tracking activities no respite
Mental battle to cast out the song
The song of my heart for which I long
Please stay
Please stay
Time elapsed cannot be replaced
Place a smile upon that beautiful face

Words on a page as the ones you read now
Express our desires to be the same
Desires such as these can be given a familiar name
A word abused by people all alike
Love from the heart true and real
Words spelling words of the tale

As my hands are dirtied my mind casts back
Thoughts of future, present, past
Side-tracking activities no respite
Mental battle to cast out the song
The song of my heart for which I long
Please stay
Please stay
Time elapsed cannot be replaced
Place a smile upon that beautiful face
