Stay

By Tegs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I don’t want to see you Because then I’ll miss your smile. I don’t want to hold you You’ll be gone in a short while. You only see me at my worst I only cry when you are here. It’s not because I hate your presence It’s because soon you’ll disapeer. So why does the rain fall Just long enough to make you thirsty? Why does the sun shine Just long enough to get you dry? Why can’t you stay here With me for just another moment? Everytime you leave, It just makes me want to die. Why do you always have to go? Why do you leave me all alone? When you go it seems like me instead, Like I’m somehow leaving home. There’s no comfort for me out there, No warm hearths along the way. Can’t you feel the pain we’re both in? Can’t you please for once just stay? Written January 9th, 2002 © on Jan 09 2002 12:28 PM PST   0 • 10
