Please Don’t Leave My Life

I texted you That night not Knowing

You already Erased My number

Did you erase our memories too?

Our first night out? That paella you found inedible? That iced-coffee with too little ice?

Those days you drove me around in your car?

Just to keep me a little longer By your side You said

That night I came?

To dance With your demons

How I held you when you cried?

Your tears November rain Dropping spiders in my hair

That fight?

The fear The anger The sadness and frustration

The loneliness I felt

Right By your side

Strong for each other

And yet

Too broken To walk together

This road of foreign longing
