Please Stay With Me Poem by Nathaniel Aaron Bryant

Yesterday was the first day I've ever wanted to die
I'd rather be dead then watch you leave
There has never been a moment to pass me by
that I wasn't thinking of you please stay with me
Was the couch not soft enough? Was the radio too loud?
I would get on my knees and
beg you if I wasn't this proud
And is that what you want, for me to be humbled?
I said I love you, please stay, but that was only mumbled
I care too much to make a fool of myself
I have no where to put my pride I've already destroyed that shelf
So I tell you out loud just go and leave and
inside I say please stay with me
