If Only She Would Have Stayed

The love he had for her
   is still alive
The ashes are still smoldering
   from the hell she put him through
Her call stirred what was left
   in his heart for her
He loved her with a passion
   unlike he'd ever felt
When she left, his heart shattered
   like fragile glass
He couldn't sleep, couldn't eat
   but his friends pulled him through
He picked up the tiny pieces
   and pieced his life back together
But every time she calls
   her voice rattles his soul
His fragile heart breaks again
   his body longs for her touch
"What do you want from me?"
   he asks.
"Because I wanted you to stay
   but it's so easy for you to go.
I can't keep going through this.
   What do you want from me?"
If only she would have stayed...
