Please stay


I'll let you go,if you stay
Because am torn
between wanting you
And wanting the best for you
I mean how do you give up
On something you've spent
All your life thinking about
Something that gives birth
To pieces fit for an African sunset
If it takes forever to have your heart
Then I'll let you go,so you can stay

Lately;
Am becoming less and less poetic
Am giving it my all
My body,mind and thoughts
But I can see you hold none of those
You heightened my nothingness
And now am a poisoned Romeo
Deserving to be treated as one
So I will let you go,but please stay

Am I standing in a forged mirror?
Do I believe in something
So atrocious
So deluded....

Should I have wanted our cells
To braid together like living thread
Should I have wished for Romeo
To drink his poison over and over
Should I have been afraid to catch something that fell from heaven

I know;
that when you see this
You will know that it is for you
That if you said you saved me
From the eye of a hurricane
I will believe you
Because I could have sworn
We were infinite
But what could be closer to ecstasy  than pain
So I will let you go;
Please stay
