2 poems, rather recent

*****************
But a life

If I had but a life
I would not follow you
On the road that leads to us
For what would be more cruel in love
Than to be cursed not to love forever?

***********
Stay
I need to learn to miss you
I need to learn to say goodbye
It's a lesson that I wish to
have never have had to try

 I need to be without you
I just need to fade away
but one thing rings more true
I just need you to stay

 Pieces of my puzzle missing
people telling me it's fine
 I'm left here guessing
how am I to pass the time

Since the game is locked away
and I've played the losing hand
my mind is gone astray
through the numbered days we've had

 and I need to learn to miss you
 I need to learn to say goodbye
It's a lesson that I wish to
have never have had to try

 and I need to be without you
I just need to fade away
but one thing rings more true
I just need you to stay

 These words they've dried up
like my eyes since you've been gone
I guess I've been a bit caught up
and I've missed you like the dawn

 Now you're far and I am here
to myself owing a debt
the one thing I hold dear
the memory of how we met

 and I need to learn to miss you
I need to learn to say goodbye
It's a lesson I that wish to
have never have had to try

 and I need to be without you
I just need to fade away
but one thing rings more true
I just need you to stay

 I've been busy chasing shadows
now I'm left without a light
I am fearing all tomorrows
without you in my sight

 and I don't wanna learn to miss you
I don't wanna say goodbye
It's something that I wish to
never have had to try

 and I need you beside me
I just need to feel you near
with your arms perched around me
but this won't be, I fear

 I just need to fade away (x3)
 I just need you to stay
