If you must leave,
Do it now.
Without telling me why.
Without telling me how.
Go.
Leave.
And never come back.
But stay.
Stay and make memories with me.
Stay and tell me how much you love me.
Don’t go.
Don’t leave.
And stay with me forever.
She Writes Mar 2018
Sitting in uncomfortable silence
No longer husband and wife
From this day forward
Both starting a new life

Reminiscing
Brings me to tears
We have so many good memories
Over the years

The safety I feel
Makes me want to stay
When I see the hurt in your eyes
I have to look away

I love you so ******* much
But I can’t hurt anymore
I wish we could turn back time
To the way things were before

I will miss you
But it’s better this way
My heart is aching
But I know I cannot stay

You say I’m being selfish
And maybe it’s true
I keep trying to make it work
But I cannot forgive you

Our life together
Is ending here today
Going our separate ways
With nothing left to say

You lay in a separate room
Im crying and were both alone
Nothing left but memories
Of our family and our home
This one was really hard for me to write.

Show me the stars
Show me the universe
Show me more than this field of green

The world is your oyster
But I want the stars
Give me all that you can give

But
It's his fault

He took advantage of you
(But did you ever ask him not to?)

He tried to talk
(But did you ever try to understand?)

He left you
(But would you rather him stay in a relationship where he felt trapped?)

He destroyed you
(But didn't you do the same to him?)

He still cares
(But all you do is wallow in self pity)

It's his fault
(But your to blame as well)
Sometimes all we do is criticize the speck in someone else's eye when we're to blind to see the log in our own.

You once said I was loud so I became quiet
You once said I was selfish so I started to care more for others than myself
You once said I was illiterate so I flooded my brain with books and inarticulate words
You once said I was ugly so I put on so much makeup I was borderline unrecognizable

Loud
Selfish
Illiterate
Ugly

But then it’s too quiet
Then it’s self neglectant
Then it’s nerd
Then it’s fake

I couldn’t do anything right

You once said I was ***** so I wore short skirts and crop tops just like the rest of them
You once said I was different so I fit as much of myself that I could into a perfect little mold
You once said I was husky so I stopped eating lunch
You once said I was lonely so I started befriending more guys than I could count

*****
Different
Husky
Lonely

But then it’s ******
Then it’s wanna be
Then it’s anorexic
Then it’s *****

Trying got me nowhere and i’ll never be like everyone else
But wait.
Why would I want to be?
Since when I did I care about all that?
I was not loud I am just expressive
I was not selfish I’m just not open
I was not illiterate I’m just still learning
I was not ugly I just have flaws

Why did I believe you in the first place?

I was not ***** I just rock a turtleneck
I was not different we are all unique
I was not husky I just had thighs for days
I was not lonely…am not lonely.

So why would I change myself for the likes of you?
