Intentional Loss

You joke
poke
prod
laugh
scream
about losing yourself
but I do not see the point
purpose
reason
meaning
scheming
behind the curtain of your barred mind

I have tried
begged
pleaded
negotiated
for you to stay
live
breathe
be
but alas you deny yourself the right to see
believe
sense
hear
need
anything I say before three

I cannot handle
comprehend
stand
tolerate
bear
all this that you hand
pass
give
cast
upon me

I have taught you all that I can, go
leave
live
cry
ask
try
die?
it is not up to me

though as a last plea
I beg you
breathe
