To my mother
To my father
To my sister
To my brother
To my friend
To my lover
I ask you please
beseech you even-
Do not.
I beg of you
on bended knee
Do not.
I will not regret
I would not change
Do not.
Your pain is shared
Your fear is felt
Do not.
Your tears are seen
Do not.
Remember with care
Mourn to fix the aching heart
But DO NOT.
Don't you dare
Become the very thing
that brought me down
