Beautiful Enough To Frame

Don't Leave

Those feelings come like ghosts

Only, more terrifying

And yet, I do not push them away

For when I try, they launch an attack

That leaves me immobilized

So what I've started doing

Is I let them creep in slowly

Like a stray dog being tempted by a treat

Until they're so close

I can touch them

But I don't strike

Instead, I caress it

Because upon further inspection

Look at how cute they are

Look at how beautiful they look

Both laughing and having a blast

Not a care in the world

No hurt or sorrow

No guilt, only pleasure

Oh, why would I want it to leave

When I can keep it here forever?

But a slap across the face

Being woken up from bed

Someone calling you to attention

And it fleas

Terrified of the real world

The world I live in now

Oh how I hate it when you come

And yet

I end up begging you

Not to Leave
