Don't Go

Don't Go

A Poem by Jessi
"

Someone I love very much is moving far away...

"
My fingers stiffen as I try to pull them away,
My heart races against the ending day.
Can we just stay her a minute?
Please don't pull the trigger and release the bullet.

I haven't said what I need to say.
I'm not finished here.
So please...just stay.


Don't go, the words tear from me,
My voice breaks and hot tears blind me so I can't see.
When you go you'll take the best of me,
When you go...there will be nothing left of me.

I don't know how to watch you disappear,
You walking away has been my biggest fear.
How am I supposed to live without you?
For all this time you've been all I've had.
Just us, just two.

So you pull away and break my fingers,
Limp they lay bleeding with piercing splinters.
You leave me crumpled on the floor,
On bleeding knees staring at the closing door

And all I can say through aching sobs is this...
Please don't forget me, that somewhere I exist.
