Please Leave
Please leave as I cannot bear to see you.
Please leave as I cannot bear to hear you.
Please leave because I cannot be nice.
Not now.
I lost a man I never got to know because of you.
You wouldn't let me see him.
You wouldn't let me know him.
And when he was on death's door, still you reject me trying.
Still you rejected me wanting to know him.
Still you said to me as he was laying in the ICU dying, "I will not give up my spot for you."
Well you held your word because you never did.
Never did I get to know this man who died yesterday.
I was to never see him.
I was to never meet him.
And even when he could no longer speak, still you persisted.
Please leave because I'm finding it hard not to hate you.
Please leave because I'm finding it hard not to resent you.
Please leave me I cannot bear to be near you.
He was your brother, but he was my Uncle and an Uncle I never got to know because of you.
Even though I perfusly sought him out.
Even though over the years I tried so hard to see him.
You still persisted.
"No" was the answer I recieved even until his passingĀ "No" was still the answer I recieved.
So please leave as I cannot bear to see you.
Please leave because I cannot help but resent you for not allowing me to know my Uncle even as he was dying.
Please leave because now it is too late to both know this man I never got to know, and to still love you the same as before.
