Please Don't Go Poem by Leanna Page Markgraf

The day you told me
that you had to leave.
My word was turned upside down
by the blow that I received.

You looked me in the eyes
and told me not to cry.
You promise you will be back
but that just sounds like a lie.

The time spent with you
I will keep them very close.
It is hard to accept this
but I know you took this oath.

As we kiss goodbye one last time
the heartache only grows.
I will put on a brave face,
but on the inside
I'm begging you not to go.
