POETRY?

XIII

When I leave this place forever,

Stay beside me, my love.

Say that you were happy with me,

Say that I made you laugh,

Say that I was worth everything,

Say that you love me,

Say that you'll feel sad, leaving me,

Say that I'm pretty,

Say that I'm the most beautiful girl you've ever seen,

Say that you were safe with me,

Say that you loved my company,

Say that you wanted to be with me all the time,

Say all those sweet words again.

As I lay on my deathbed,

Wanting to leave here forever,

Those words and memories,

Your laugh and your doe eyes,

Replays in my brain again,

For my last seven minutes.

You'll always be my safe place,

Even though I failed at being yours.

But don't cry for me, my love.

I don't want you to cry for me,

I don't want you to feel what I felt that day,

That feeling when I knew,

When I knew that you were never mine.
