Don't Make Me

Published: September 20, 2023

Don’t make me call your name,

When I am lonely, and pretend to want to be left alone.

Don’t let me explain to you

What I really need

Is a hand to hold,

A hug to sob,

An arm to empty my dams into.

Stay with me,

Obstinately.

When I ask you to leave,

Again and again,

Entreat.
