Poems
Sep 2016
stay please (don't go)
I have been left
in the rain
in the midsts
of my own storms
I have been diminished
demeaned
and berated.
but none of that matters
now that you are so finally mine.
we have both changed
and beyond the pain
of change
and the hurt
of growth
but beyond that
I have felt the pain
of loss
and grown used
to being left
and yet I still fear
a more permanent farewell
between you and I.
but I do not doubt
your efforts
or you.
I do doubt
my sanity
and however long
it will last
and how long
you will stick it
out.
but for now I will appreciate
the warmth
and the dry
that is here.
I am not one for goodbyes.
goodbye means going away.
and going away means forgetting.
I do not care to forget you.
that's from Peter Pan I think.
but you are no lost boy
I trust that
flying away to Wendy
or Neverland
are not options
you are looking at.
I love you
so
and I know
that we were brought together
to last.
Thoughtful. i don't want tomorrow to happen. also i might be partially an idiot.
