My one fear,
may come true,
to be alone,
without you.

My only hope is for you to stay,
protect me from from all thats wrong,
keep me alive.

I'm afraid of what I may do,
if I ever lost you,
and you talk of it coming true.

It hurts so much,
when I'm second best to you,
when your the one thing that really matters to me.

If I get left behind one more time,
heaven will be my new home once again,
6 feet below,
is as close as we'll come ever again.

I can't lose you now,
I can't lose you ever,
I need you to be with me,
please don't move away from me,
like the rest have done before.

I cry so hard,
just thinking of you leaving me,
I couldn't live another day,
if you left me behind.

It hurts so much,
when you tell me I'm not as important to you,
as you are to me.

I don't know what to do,
I can't live without you,
I know it sounds pathetic,
but I'm so weak I can't withstand it.

Your my only hope,
if I never met you,
I wouldn't be here today,
you gave me a reason to live,
and I can't watch that walk away.

Please don't leave me,
if you do,
I'll be nothing to you,
maybe just a little memory,
until I fade away,
and never exist to you in every little way.

enjoyed the power and emotion of this piece.

others may give you a reason to live, but you can't always depend on what you're given.
sometimes, after you've been given a reason to live, you have to find your own reason to persevere.
good luck, and if things don't turn out,
remember that heartache leads to some damn fine poetry.
this write is testament enough, i think. =)

I strongly agree with MidnightSon. i know what it's like to become dependent on a boyfriend, i've done it twice. when the last one broke up with me, i thought i was going to die, he was everything to me. but i've moved on. hopefully you'll stay together, but if not, it'll all be ok. there will be another that will make you feel even more special

Thank you guys for reading my poem and replying. This was just something I was feeling at one of my moments. I was actually upset because someone close to me told me they wanted to move really far away, a good friend to me who's helped me a lot in my life. Writing poems is just my way of getting things out that are bothering me at the time rather than letting them build up inside me. Thanks again for your replys.
