(I’m writing most of this as I type so it doesn’t have permanent stanzas yet. It started on my walk home…And also stanzas don’t always seem to show up on my WordPress. I’m open to advice on that.)
Leave Me
Leave me now.
Leave me again.
Leave me alone.
Don’t leave me, then,
I will not come to you,
If you don’t leave me,
I will not come for you,
if you do not see me.
Leave me still.
Leave me be.
But leave me in
good company.
Leave for a moment
you can see that
even you want
to be left. Although
your heart has
been bereft.
Even on lonely
sleepless nights,
Even through fierce
Halloween frights
that bring out flirty socialites,
even though you leave
me in your sights…
Leave me a stranger
or a friend, leave me
with love that never ends.
Leave me even
if you pretend. On
you my love
must not depend. If
when I say “Leave”
it’s offensive,
leave me strong
and leave me pensive.
Leave me with a broken
heart. Leave me with
some new place to start.
Leave me knowing
you can come back.
Leave me to always
have your back.
Don’t leave me
like it’s an attack.
Leave me torn
up, or still intact.
Leave me with fiction
or with fact.
Leaving always
leaves an impact.
Leave me with hope.
Leave me with fear
Leave me, but
never disappear.
Leave me with sun.
Leave me with rain.
Leave me to understand
your joy and pain.
Leave me when
neither can explain.
Leave me and
leave with no refrain.
Leave me, you should.
Leave me you must.
Leave me but don’t
leave me to rust.
Leave me with faith
alone, with trust,
and know that love
will not leave us.
