Inside of Me (A Small Book of Poems)

Walk Away

Without you here,

I am not whole, I am not me.

I am drowning in my own darkness,

and cant find the light,

'Take me with you' I beg in my sleep,

yet your reply is always the same,

'You don't belong here yet.'

I beg again and again and again,

but you turn your back and walk away from me,

the only time you've ever walked away from me.
