Please don’t be gone when I wake up in the morning.
I know my scars contradict every word I say
and that “love yourself” rings meaningless to people like you and I
but we’re standing on the same bridge, having a lovely conversation
about how easy it would be to just
jump off
but I don’t tell you how on the count of three
I’d push you back on the concrete before leaping.
Please don’t be gone when I wake up in the morning
because I need you
and you’re the only one who’s ever really needed me.
