Sad Poems

~Stay~

I want so badly to leave but my mind seems to be opposed.

Something is telling me to shut myself in, to keep all the doors closed.

To block out the world and stay inside for the rest of my days

To set all of my memories, all of the past to a blaze.

But then I think about everything I haven't done yet.

To get married and get my own house, maybe get a pet.

To have my own children, to watch them get older and learn to ride a bike

To watch over them and give them all of the love in the world is something I would like.

I need to stay for the future, A goodbye I cannot bid

Because I need make sure that they don't have the same sad life as I did

Hopefully I can fill my new beginning happiness, with loved ones I will spend.

So even if it's painful, I will stay, for it will be worth it in the end
