The Plane


~By Craig Mallon


Not a word was spoken between us,
As I headed for the plane,
Until one last look back into her eyes,
Betrayed her hidden pain,

I pulled her tight against my chest,
And she whispered tearfully,
Just these four simple words
"Please stay with me"

I looked down into her tortured face,
Not knowing what to say,
If only she knew I'd give the world,
To hold her one more day,

But instead I kissed her on the cheek,
And knowing we could never be,
Gently I pulled away,
Her tears the saddest sight I'll ever see,
