AUTHOR NOTE: I actually wrote this a while back, but I think I'm finally ready to let people read it. It's not the best poem, but it was hard to write down and it's still hard to read, so I hope someone can enjoy it ^_^

Maybe He'll Stay

If I try, there's a chance that I'll ally with Fate

Now I'm risking it all for a love that I hate

Run, only run

Before night becomes day

If I catch him in time, well, then maybe he'll stay

The sky has been broken, the earth loses ground

Every vibration emits a new sound

The numbness is spreading, the battle remains

It never was like this before he first came

The blood rushes faster, the seconds draw by

Is this how it feels when you're willing to die?

The picture's unclear now, the message unwinds

I'm running alone in a race against time

Now there's hardly a way for this fault to amend

But, as long as a chance stands, I'll fight 'till the end

To die is to fall

No, it can't end this way

If I do this all right, well, then maybe he'll stay

My legs won't move faster, the panic arrives

I'll push myself higher, I'll fight and I'll strive

I'll bleed the faults out and I'll fend 'till it hurts

Above my desires, one thing will come first

My eyes sting and water, my whole body aches

But it's worth it this time, no, it's not a mistake

What I wanted most seemed distorted by lies

It was here all along, right in front of my eyes

I've come so far now and I'll never turn back

I've won every fight, endured every attack

If I never return

What would they all say?

If I prove myself now, well, then maybe he'll stay

This sweet, darkened heart took me long years to find

I can still hear his voice loud and clear in my mind

He told me to dream, to forget, to live on

But I've withered and ached from the loss all along

Prey to the pressure, my heart strives to last

It beats in a rhythm that's going too fast

This feeling is real, something no one can touch

I've tried to forget, but I want him so much

In the end, there's no shame or regret to think of

From the start, it must all have been based upon love

I vow to stand here

But, please, don't walk away

If I learn to love too, well, then maybe he'll stay
