My Only Downfall

I’ll wait for you to return,
To the arms you left in haste,
No matter how many days will pass,
They won’t be put to waste.

I’ll linger in the shadows,
Of a weakened shallow beat,
For there could be no other,
That I should want to meet.

For if you’ve found a sweetheart,
I’ll bow my weary head,
And stay among the memories,
Of what was once then said.

But if beneath your cold skin,
You should think of me at all,
Just remember that I loved you once,
Perhaps my only downfall.
