Random Acts of Poetry: Go Please Stay

I told myself that the last time

Would be the last time

And now that this last time has repeated itself

This

Is

The last time

I want you to go

Because if you’re gone,

 then you can’t hurt me here

Anymore

I see your tears

And I know they are of regret

Regret that you got caught, not because you hurt me

And now that you’ve got to go,

you’ve got so much to say

And so much love to give

Go, please

Now STAY

You got too close to the door

I need you to stay,

and touch me a little more

My skin tried to crawl off my bones

And follow you out the door

My eyes dried shut, they can’t cry anymore

Every part of me is screaming “I don’t want to be alone”

Please stay…

I’m so scared to be alone

I need you to stay

But I want you to go,

so you can’t hurt me anymore

But stay…

cuz at least if you’re hurting me

I can feel something

Cuz if you’re here,

The wall shadows won’t close in

My heart will continue to beat

Because it has to beat to bleed

You are my shock therapy

My heart hurt reminds me that I am alive

The pain reminds me to breathe

I need you.

At least I think I do

The thought of you gone paralyzes me

Yet tantalizes me

Because if you’re gone,

then maybe I can find somebody

That realizes

That I’m so good inside

And will be

Good to me, so good to me

But how can I share with him what belongs to you?

Can I have my heart back please

I see you begging on your knees and I

Have so much sympathy

For you,

you complete me,

so what happens when you leave?

I don’t wanna find out…

I’m pushing you out with both hands

But inviting you back with my tears

I can’t seem to let go of the years that I spent loving you and you hurting me

And then loving you

And then you hurting me

Then me loving you hurting me

I’m used to it, I’ve been thru it and it seems perfectly natural

That I will let you stay to hurt me some more

Maybe the next time I’ll let you go out the door

But for now,

Stay

***when I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired, I will let you go***
