Stop.
Stop letting me go
Stop helping me leave
Stop making this easy for me, this
     should not be simple
Stop hurting yourself just
     because I asked

Stop.
Stop thinking of me
Stop imagining my agony
Stop trying to climb over the gate, I
     am just trying to spare you pain
Stop caring about me, right now I
     want to stop wanting to be with you but I
          can't help reciprocating when you love me this much
Stop calling my name out, into
     empty rooms, you think I will not hear you but I
          am so attuned to your voice that I hear it speak in my ears
               even when you are not here
               even when you have not actually said anything
               even when the words are not from you, they
                    are just another weapon my brain turns against itself
Stop saying that I am asking you to twist the knife
Stop twisting the knife

Stop.
Stop turning away
Stop drawing back
Stop being okay without me around, you
     are supposed to miss me, please
          say you miss me
Stop leaving me here inside these walls, I
     am being torn apart and if you
          are not here I will die without seeing you again
Stop being deaf to my stifled screams, I
     am far too committed to hiding this from you, when I
          said I did not want you to see this I meant it but now I
               just don't want to be alone, don't leave me alone

Stop.
Stop listening when I tell you
     to stop what you are doing. You
          are more sane than I am, you
               should make your own decisions, they
                    will always be better than mine, you
                         are right.
