stay.             -t.h.
holding her close he slipped away
stuck in the moment hoping to stay
no greater feeling he thought
for she was his jackpot
so happy they were at that time
being so intimately intertwined
this is it, she’s the one for me
he thought to himself so merrily
but little did he know she didn’t feel right
and to make it through this would take all his might
as quickly as the happiness came it met its end
soon he’d have to leave so he wouldn’t have to pretend
he’s not okay but now she’s happy with someone else
that’s what matters to him nevertheless
killing him inside he wishes her the best
not realizing she’s leaving him a mess
she carries on reaching pure joy
he lingers behind, destroyed.
