Even Though You Are Gone

by Scarlett Spider-Girl

A small poem I wrote for John and Elizabeth

Even though you are gone…

I hold your hand so tightly

As you look up and smile weakly

You asked me to stay with you

And what you said was true

I wished that you would hold on

Even though you are long gone

I want you back so much

Just to feel your longing touch

Even though you are long gone…

You tell me to let you go

You can no longer fight this foe

I beg you not to leave me

Not to set me free

I whished you would hold on

Even though you are long gone

I want you back so much

Just to feel your longing touch

Even though you are long gone…

I shout your name and panic

Dr. Beckett has become frantic

You heart suddenly stops

And to my knees I drop

I wished that you would hold on

Even though you are long gone

I want you back so much

Just to feel your longing touch

Even though you are long gone…

Tears run down my cheek

As your promise I will keep

Your had falls limply to your side

And to me you will finally confide

I wished that you would hold on

Even though you are long gone

I want you back so much

Just to feel your longing touch

Even though you are long gone…

Please come back to me, John

Away from me you've been to long…
