Leave Me

If you are going to leave me,

within the darkness I own.

Keep a promise honey,

to never go at it alone.

 

If you are going to leave me

to dread my very own existence.

Swear I did not drain your flee.

As I cannot maintain this indifference.

 

If you are going to leave me

in this time of need.

I will neglect to foresee

that I was not simply just a weed.

 

If you are going to leave me,

as I know it to be true now.

I can continue to guarantee

that I will painfully love you somehow.


The author's comments:

I was inspired to write this poem partly due to the recent death of my uncle and my childhood pet Georgia. She brought me through many obstacles as a child, most commonly due to issues with my parents and often having to parent myself. However, I wanted to word this piece so that you could apply it to many different situations including heartbreak in a friendly or romantic way.
