letters from a sad poet

don't come back

if you're going to leave,
if you're going to walk
out the door,
if you're going to become
just someone I used to know

please
   please
please
just stay that way.

please
         don't
come
        back
into
      my
life.

I learned to live
without you
when you left
and it's going to
stay that way.

-you leave but you don't stay gone. why is that?
