Stay with me

Wrote this while listening to a song. It's a love song one of the only types of songs I can write.

I just want you
Why can't you love me?
Why do have to run away?
Do you hate me?
Am I alone in feeling like I'm falling in love?
Don't you get it
Don't you see it when I look into your eyes
Why can't you stay?
Why do you have to run away?
I need you
I want you
Don't you see
Don't you sense that we were meant to be?
So don't run away
Stay with me
So that you see what I see
So that you feel what I feel
Because without you I'm weak
Without you I'm not me
Without you I wouldn't be the person I am now
So don't run away
Don't hide
When I say I love you because I really do

Author's Note

This is not about anyone in particular I just made it because I got inspired by a song.

I like the way you took a non-traditional style of writing and made it deeply convey a sense of palpable emotion. The poem read more like a rant of sorts as opposed to a song like you said it was meant to be. If you do intend to make this a song, I would recommend rereading it a couple times to find a common verse, and set specific verses by leaving a space beneath it. If this is intended to be a poem then I think it's perfect the way it is. Either way this is very well written. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the read.
