Asking You to Stay

if i keep

like this

i will slowly suffocate
when you become someone i miss

leaning over the

but keeping my feet on solid ground

wanting to leap into your ocean below
but i protect myself from being a casualty
-frightened to drown


afraid to slip
but wanting to
slowly

away

i'm petrified to tell you-
but every ounce of me needs you to stay


practicing for the ache
as you

further and further
from my waiting heart

i open my mouth to

but you're gone before i start


and you'll leave
see the world as it's

while i remain glued
caught in the wretched place you left me from the beginning

maybe you'll leave and keep me in your memory
maybe time will dissolve this day
i know that you need to leave
but i'm asking you to
