Take Me or Leave Me

Johanny Lisbeth on Sep 6, 2009

Unfaithfulness…

Take me or leave me,

but don’t ask me to believe,

late at night when you come home, another essence I perceive.

Take me or leave me,

If I’m not awake just let me dream,

don’t you kiss my forehead you know I heard the door,

guilt is in your kisses from what you did before.

You admire me because I hush and stare up at the sky,

because sadly you don’t see me cry.

And you begin to feel smaller day by day,

and when I look at you, you just look away.

Take me or leave me,

I’ll give up and I won’t spy,

but leave the nest that we created

in case you say goodbye.

You’re still here because you think I’m unaware,

but on your skin I’ve seen her prints; I see them everywhere.

And when I take a glimpse inside your eyes, I see the truth that you deny.

Take me or leave me,

And if you return bring back with you all the traits,

bring the truth so I can see;

my opponent, your “bed mate”.

And if she’s better I won’t fight, at last you’ll get to see me, cry.

Love your poem. There is so much truth in those words, ‘take me or leave me.’ I don’t understand cheating. If a person doesn’t want another, no one is holding a gun to their heads to make them stay. Life is too short to live in misery, time to move on to a brighter future.
