Please Stay With Me Poem by Michael Eziudo

Although I'm not begging you to stay with me
But before you go remember
You were the one that came to wake me up from my sad slumber
And poured milk and honey in my heart and beauties like roses in my eyes
And made me see the sweetness of life
That one I doubted its existence
And smile dawned in my face
Now you're taking it away?

Although I am not begging you to stay with me
But before you go remember
You led me across the desert
And to the oasis from where my thirst of love was quenched
And now I swim the ocean of love
And the possibility of oneness from a duo
That too you want to take away?

Although I'm not begging you to stay with me
But before you go remember
You drove me to that land
Where I had bashed my hopes and aspirations to the walls
And decided there was no need to live the life
When there's no propelling force, an end means
And you helped me dust my road map
That I can find a way to my route
Now I run faster than I once did alone
Because you're behind me
Aren't you going to hang on?

Although I'm not begging you to stay with me
But before you go remember
We had dreamt of where we're heading
And planned the life we want then when we get there
Now we are on the route to it
And you want to leave me on this lane alone?

Aren't you going to hang on?
I'm almost there
Yes this route is tough and seem narrow and bumpy
The bed of roses we anticipated is almost here
But this terrain we are in
Has to be made smooth by your decision
Is the decision to stay a hard one?

You have not been a bad egg but a butter that smoothens the tray
Wisdom put to work takes away all plans that may cause traffic

Although I'm not begging you to stay
But before you go remember
The golden egg would be laid by the golden eagle
But on the golden nest that stayed put for it
That refused to be moved by the weird wind that came

I mustn't beg you against your will
Although love demands that I do
I actually am
But should I rape your mind for love
I mustn't beg you against your will despite how much I need you
But you loving me truly would show
Upon self inconveniencing to stay for me
And it won't be inconveniencing at all

Although I'm not begging you to stay
But before you go remember
I love you
Stay if you love me too
Yes stay because this tears run down uncontrollably
And I can't find a place to let them fall
My mind is full of the times we shared together
How pleasant, our words together, oh, how promising
And hurt tears keep gushing
Because I don't want to achieve this fit without you
Or with someone else that ain't you
Your dreams, my dreams, our dreams
Oh, how much I believe in us

Although I'm not begging you to stay with me
But before you go remember
We both may find partners to move on with
But none of those partners
Would ever love us like we do us now
I'm very certain we do

I wish I can beg you to stay
I'm glad I don't need to do that
Because you're here still with me
Aren't you?
