PLEASE BE OK

I sit with hollow eyes
I sit with tortured mind,
I wait and I dread
What my entreaties will find.
The strained smiles
The encouraging words,
I don't feel the sunshine
I don't hear the birds.
Please be well
Please be ok,
Please don't leave me
Please is all I can say.
Words are cheap
In times like these,
I pray for your safety
On my bended knees.
You are my world
My heaven on earth,
You're my beautiful diamond
Of infinite worth.
Please be ok
Please be well
Please never leave me
Please, my angel.
