Oh won’t you stay?
At least of a day?
Or is it too much to ask?
I don’t know how long we’ll both last,
but you can’t leave.
Please don’t leave me
If you care,
not about stupid things like what you wear
but rather about me,
don’t you see?
If you ever did
you won’t get rid
of your life.
Put down the knife.
You won’t go.
I’ve hit a new low.
You can’t leave me to fight by myself.
This war,
you swore
you wouldn’t leave.
Don’t leave me to grieve.
Life has left wounds on us both
but that oath
we both took.
Take one more look
in the mirror
and see things a little clearer.
My words are truthful,
you are beautiful.
So please stay
At least one more day.
So maybe I can show you what I see
and together we can be
and we can both say
we lived to see the day
where we didn’t have to create
a smile that’s fake.
