they all leave

can you just
sit with me

let me lay
my head
in your lap

let me cry
and wish
the world away

don't say a word
because i am smart
and i  know
everything
will not
be okay

i realized this
long before
you came along

so please don't try
to convince me
that everything will be alright
because
i will believe you
and then
you will leave me.
