Stare Me Down

I gaped at you
All
While you watched me
Fall.
So I will stumble
Along
As all I do is
Wrong.
And I need you
Now
But this you will not
Allow.
I'm left with only my
Thoughts
All tangled up in
Knots.
Help!
I'm starting to
Drown
But all you do is
Stare me down.
You gave me your
Word
But, then again, your speech was
Slurred.
Now I'm wallowing in
Lies
As you say your
Goodbyes.
Please, don't leave me
Behind.
Please, for once, just be
Kind.

beautifully heartfelt write. Sounds as if it is both to someone in particular and more besides. Flows well.
