Why Stay?

You've become something more to me,

something more than green grass,

clear glass,

pretty smiles,

dressed with style,

you've become something much more great.

To me, you mean more to me,

than almost anything.

You are now the center of my life,

where my mind, body, soul, heart, resides.

Something like a passion,

where you put your whole life into it,

no regrets coming with.

Opening up my usually tight shut doors,

inviting you in,

your smell,

the way you sit up tall and nice,

and the way your lights brighten my nights.

However, you've made it clear that I can't afford you.

It means nothing that I adore you,

nonetheless,

J'adore tu.

I can't change that fact,

you've grown equivalent to the bone in my back.

But, I can't afford you.

You fail to set aside,

the lacking of my green dollar signs,

green as these words that lie,

left my love on the side of the road to die,

cry itself to sleep throughout the night,

opening wet eyes to find sun,

go and hide.

Hide from the reality,

that, to you, I'm nothing.

Only Ben Franklin and his friends,

seems to be invited in,

their smell,

their texture, the way they spend.

I can't be a dead Abraham Lincoln,

too bad,

you've given up something much greater than.

Author's Note

money. ain't. shit.
just want you all to know.
Value people, value memories, value the time you spend with those people, making those memories. Love these things. Put genuine time and feelings into these things.
Don't allow money to dictate you.
People create people, people create love, people is where the truthfulness lie even when they tend to lie, money is nothing but something used to enslave us.

ALSO IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY NOT INFORMED, HASHTAG #MIZZOU ON ANY SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT IS GOING ON ON THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI'S CAMPUS (AMERICAN OR NOT, COLLEGE STUDENT OR NOT). THIS IS REAL, AND YES IT IS 2015.

Sad that you or anyone has people like this in their lives. Feeding on them until they feel you have nothing left to give..
