Poem: "Don't"

"Don't"

Time has passed slowly
the moment has lingered
for far too long
as the sky turns dark

The beauty of former
has faded against the tumult
against the wishes of the demons
lurking just beneath the cracks
waiting to surface

Gone is the way things
used to be
when the world made sense
and youth was on my side

As you walk away
the waters have receded
and faith weeps crystal tears
as my heart shatters
cast off
into oblivion

"Please don't go," I whisper desperately

How I need you still.
