Come back

Who will catch my tears
after you are gone?
Who will sing to me
when the silences grow long?

Who will read the sonnets
that put me away to sleep?
Who will be there to comfort me
Whe the lonliness makes me weep?

Who is giving youa pillow
A place to lay your head?
Does she sing,does she read,does she love you,
Or say the things I said?

And when you come back,
Tired and drawn,
Night or day
Dusk or dawn
My arms are forever open
To welcome you back home.
