If I stay

Location

If I stay, what would I live for

When the purpose of living still leaves me so unsure

How can I live when all I lived for is gone

When there is no one left in this world for me to lean on

Could I survive on my own, only to be left with my thoughts

When sorrow is too forceful and cannot be fought

How could I continue on after all of this

When death has already given me it’s venomous kiss

Adam knows I have a decision to make

He wants more than anything for me to live for my own sake

After death it’s said life goes on

I hope thats true after I am gone

It’s easy to die and hard to live

I know life should have more than this to give

I have someone here who wants me to stay

To wake up, and live yet another day

He tells me he loves me and that sets in deep

because I know If I really loved him I’d wake up from this heavy sleep

They say love makes you immortal and If that is so

then why am I still contemplating whether to stay or to go
