Leave

A poem

Try not to make a scene, leave she says. Leave. Keep your dignity and pride, don’t let another soul Ever see you cry. Break hearts, but never promise to love someone hard Don’t drive yourself crazy with thoughts of her at night. Be angry, be mad, but never show a sign Of vulnerable mind, Or wasted time Of feelings that were divine. And no matter how much it hurts, Never ever change your mind. Leave. I say, leave, don’t ever look back She is standing there with someone else And holding their hand. Don’t dare to say another word In order to cause some pain. She will feel it in other ways, Like when she sees a picture and remembers your name, Or smells a perfume, and wishes you came And realizes that she is the cause of her own pain. Leave. I tell myself, leave. Before it is too hard to leave, Take all of your love and grieve, Leave.
