Hi there! Please enjoy this poem that I wrote this evening.
Don’t
Go; don’t
Leave; don’t
Let this be goodbye. Don’t
Let my lives lie, wasted,
Spent, loving unrequitedly
With all thatI have left; don’t
Tear my heart apart – I don’t think
That it will ever start again once
You’re gone; don’t
Tell me you don’t love me anymore –
What is it for, just
To emphasise the pain your leaving
Left behind, the emptiness inside
Signalling a lack created by
Abstinence from you, an
Absence penetrating through
The center of myself. Don’t
Say you won’t come back again,
And we won’t be again
What we were before.
Please don’t
Go.
