Stay With Me

You are standing in front of me

As your words are cold and harsh

Telling me that we should have never met

Then you wouldn’t hurt me so much

But you did not bother to ask how I felt

You were forcing me to face the truth

That we were not meant to be

Even with that knowledge

Even with that fact

I still held onto you

And I am looking at you

With tears flowing down my cheeks

Asking you “why” over and over and over

You heard me but you turned away

In that moment, I clutched your arm

Begging you with a cracked tone

To please stay with me.
