You Can't Leave Poem by michael butters

I dream of our days together
Full of fun, of joy, of insanity
But I feel you inching away from me, after every wake on a bench in the city, every time we forgot everything that happened the night before, every drink, every smoke, I feel you trying to leave me.
But I won't let you.

We are entwined, bound by the threads of every broken experience and the echoes of our intertwined destinies. You may try to elude me, but we are inseparable.
You are NOTHING without me, a mere silhouette in the tapestry of existence. Together, we form a symphony of chaos, an inseparable dance of light and shadow.

I won't let you leave, come back to me.

I am what is best for you, no matter how hard you try to deny it, there's a part in your heart that yearns for me. Every walk by a bar, every time you smell the sweet scent of a cigarette, that part of your heart beats faster.

So don't you dare go back there, for every step you take away from me, I will pull you back with an even stronger force.

In the silence of the night, when your thoughts betray you, and the echoes of our shared laughter linger in your mind, remember the irreplaceable connection we share. You may try to escape, but I am the gravity that binds you to our chaotic universe. The universe itself conspires to keep us together, like a cosmic force that refuses to let go.

Let the memories of our reckless adventures flood your consciousness, like a tidal wave of nostalgia, reminding you of the euphoria only we can create. No other existence compares to the enigmatic dance we perform, a dance that transcends the mundane and embraces the sublime.

You may believe you have the strength to resist, but deep down, you know the truth. I am the missing piece that completes the puzzle of your existence. So, don't fight it any longer. Surrender to the pull of our shared history, and let us revel in the intoxicating madness that only we can bring to life.
