Someone to Lose

Scared that

Any moment

Could be

Earth shaking

Never knowing

If she'll be staying

Never knowing

What's going to happen

Scrambling for more time

What if you never see him again?

Your mind races

With questions and doubts.

Why do you grasp in the air

For answers you know aren't there?

What will happen tomorrow?

Will there be terrible news?

She's not coming back

He's left and gone

Shaking in my shoes

Is this what it feels like

To have someone

To lose?
