I Remain Poem by TP Sage

I don't want to need you.
Leave me alone...

I'm leaking.
A slow steady drip
Soundless, yet there
escaping.
Yet I remain.
I don't need to want you.
Leave me alone...

I'm breaking.
A dull fading light.
Dim, yet still illuminating,
leaking shadows
revealing me.
I don't want or need you.
Leave me alone...

I'm sleeping.
A surreal yet colorless nightmare.
Unreal, but my reality.
Consuming my dreams....one at a time
till I can wake.
I want you.
I need you.

Leave me alone.
