Don't Leave Me - A Poem

You are the light to my darkness.

Constant and persistent, but only when you will it to be.

Because you are only the light to my darkness,

When it's easy for you.


When actual darkness and difficulties occur,

You don't look back at the girl you fell in love with.

Instead, you run away, from the beast she turns into.

Because you know you can't tame her.


Then why do I still yearn for you?

For your emotional reassurances, comforting hugs, your warm eyes?

Why do I still want you to be with me when you run away during our tough times?

Why am I the only one begging for you, when you can drop me in an instant?

Why do I care so much?


Don't leave me, my heart whispers along with its vessels that hold it steady.

Don't leave me, don't find someone new.

Don't leave me, I don't have the will to go this time.

Don't leave me, I've been broken too much to break my own heart again.

Don't leave me a third time.

There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
