Please, Just Look At Me

Turn around;
Look at me.
You'll see my heart outstretched for you. 
You'll see my tears as they fall, 
Silently begging you to come back to me; 
Pleading with you to stay;
Apologising 

Turn around,
For just one second, 
And smile at me, 
So that I know that you might still love me.
So that I know that you'll forgive me one day,
For all of my transgressions, 
For being too much;
For loving you wrong.

Turn around
And come back to me.
Let me soothe you with my hands,
My heart, 
My lips; 
Let me whisper softly in your ear 
And calm you to sleep as I brush the tears from your cheeks.
Let me love you the only way that I know how- 
In silence.
