Poetry: Yearning

by Carl Halling

Created on: May 10, 2008   Last Updated: February 28, 2011

Keep on chipping

Right away at my heart

Because you touched it

Right from the start

If you were to leave me

And then

We ere to part

It would really tear me apart


Don’t stop now,

Darling you’re getting to me

Don’t quit now

That you’re ahead

Don’t stop now

You’ve made an impression on me

Now there’s no getting you out of my head.


Keep on tearing

All my defences down

Because I feel that

They’re all going to fall

Keep on keeping up with

All of your charms

Because I feel

I’m going to give you my all


Don’t stop now,

You lit such a fire in me

Don’t quit now

Because that would be  cruel

Don’t stop now

Darling, don’t tire of me

I’d feel such a fool and so confused


You’re the one

I have longed for you

For more than a million dreams

You’re the one

I have been strong for you

You don’t know how hard it’s been


Don’t stop now,

Darling you’re getting to me

Don’t quit now

That you’re ahead

Don’t stop now

You’ve made an impression on me

Now there’s no getting you out of my head. 

Keep on chipping

Right away at my heart

Because you touched it

Right from the start

If you were to leave me

And then

We ere to part

It would really tear me apart


Don’t stop now,

Darling you’re getting to me

Don’t quit now

That you’re ahead

Don’t stop now

You’ve made an impression on me

Now there’s no getting you out of my head.


Keep on tearing

All my defences down

Because I feel that

They’re all going to fall

Keep on keeping up with

All of your charms

Because I feel

I’m going to give you my all


Don’t stop now,

You lit such a fire in me

Don’t quit now

Because that would be  cruel

Don’t stop now

Darling, don’t tire of me

I’d feel such a fool and so confused


You’re the one

I have longed for you

For more than a million dreams

You’re the one

I have been strong for you

You don’t know how hard it’s been


Don’t stop now,

Darling you’re getting to me

Don’t quit now

That you’re ahead

Don’t stop now

You’ve made an impression on me

Now there’s no getting you out of my head.
