Don't Leave Me [Poetry: Jake English]

I can feel the beating of my heart.

I can see it slowly falling apart.

No one sees me for who I am.

Somehow, I knew this would happen.


I've lost all hope.

I cannot see.

My mind is raw.

My terror free.

My intentions transparent,

There's no where to hide.

I may not look it,

But I feel pain inside.



I don't want their kindness anymore.

I don't want to see them anymore.

Every word was pity or a lie, to me.

It's so painfully clear now that I can see.

But... I don't want them to leave me.



Being alone is my worst fear.

Compared to that, nothing else comes near.

I'm alone now.

I'm losing sight.

What's in the darkness,

And what's in the light?

Yet I keep calling out blindly

"Please...

Don't leave me..."
