Please, don't leave,

Stay today, tomorrow, forever.

Become my usual, a routine, an habit.

Please, don't leave,

Sit, hold me against the storm,

Shield me from the harshness of it's waves.

Please, don't leave,

Without you I am powerless,

Driven to lunacy by my mind's turmoil.

Please, don't leave,

Taking my peace with you,

Your memories will haunt me,

In your absence I will crumble,

Labelled as rejected.

Please, mother, don't leave me

In this box, 

Surrounded by sewage,

At a stranger's doorstep.
