Stabbing

by Janelle Hollars

I feel a stabbing in my heart
Yet there's nothing there
The same words just echo on
To add to my despair
Nothing will let me forget
The memories we made
I just pray that you decide
So we can be on our way
I try my best to be patient
But it's so very hard
I just sit and wait for the day
You decide to heal my heart
Three words my heart aches to hear
A thing you say you do
Remove the knife so carefully
When you fin'lly say "I love you"
