Weren't You The One Who Said "don't You Leave Me?"—
*_WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO SAID"DON'T YOU LEAVE ME?—_*
Weren't you the one who asked me to stay?
And not to leave you behind,in the shade?
Weren't you the one who take in my hands?
And lean on my shoulders tight?
"Don't you please leave me" it echoes and remain,
But now you are gone, and left a shade of pain,
And I whisper low, with strained heart,
A new lifefor me to start
Weren't you the one who said I should lean on—
Hence, you are the one that took my feelings for fun,
In night I will whisper low,
Scream out loud, gentle and slow,
Untill pains fade,
And these void's shade,
Untill my heart mends and fine peace—
Untill someone else tell me that,"l like your piece"
And thus, I will doth and sob,
And through my lenses, I will scrob...
The echoes of shunned feelings,
But know, I'm trying hard, for healing...
