Give Me A Reason To Stay

for anyone questioning.

I don't understand

This is what I wanted

I wanted this 
So badly

We both wanted this

And we finally gave in

To what felt right for us

And for a while

It was great

I had everything I wanted

I saw a future

I was happy

But now I'm miserable

Please

Give me a reason to stay

Make me stop feeling empty around you

Promise me that we can have a happy future

Tell me

That things will get better

Back to the way they were

Make me believe 

That I'll feel what I used to

Again for you

I don't see any of that ahead

All I have is doubt

I'm empty with you

Give me a reason to stay

I can't find one

Author's Note

I thought I knew what I wanted. But then when I got it, it wasn't everything I had hoped for. It's true what they say - be careful what you wish for. They just forgot part of it - be wary when you finally get it. Hopefully some people can relate.

This happens more than most of us care to admit. I can relate to this. Thanks for sharing

Honest words demanding answers. We must ask these questions to ensure we are wanted.
"Give me a reason to stay"
When we feel not needed. Heart will know. Thank you Nicole for sharing the excellent poetry.

Awh... I'm sorry. Yet somewhat relieved. You can move on now. Which is good. Moving on is a good thing! :)

[Nicole Schuster]

Yeah it is. I just hate when it hurts to move on, when you know you have to. Oh well. Past is the past!
