I'd Rather You Stay

like knives stricken through eyes

or arrows punctured through spleens

the pain in our demise

greatly triumphs all those things

trapped like dolls affixed in glass

slowly rotting upon a shelf

id rather wither about the wind 

than to watch you love someone else.

wow, i understand this...stay so i can love you even if you no longer love me...i will take what i can get and be satisfied...
living without you is worse than with you, even when it is bad....my first marriage was similar to what is expressed in this poem...not a great place to be.
