Don’t leave me.
I trust you, I really do.
But I can’t help fearing
That you’ll leave.

Those with many friends
Can afford to lose one.
I can’t afford to be lost.

Because then I would be truly lost.

It’s been a long time
Since anyone knew me so well.
Actually, it’s been
Forever.

I have been left before,
And they always took a piece of me
With them.

The jagged edges of my heart
Tore my insides tender.
No tough scar tissue has ever formed.

I gave you a much larger piece
Than I have ever given
To anyone else.

If you left,
I don’t think
I could ever heal.

Please,
Don’t leave me.
