Do not wait
March 24, 2019
Do not wait for me.
Whether I ask, I plead, I pout,
if I’m on the ground crying,
or screaming my lungs out,
don’t wait.
And do not look back.
Not even for a goodbye.
Not even for a moment.
Try not to bat an eye.
Don’t turn around.
If you do, I might break.
Might shatter to the ground
like broken glass against the concrete.
I might lose every piece of myself.
But I won’t admit it.
I won’t let it show.
Do not wait for me..
Just let me go.
