To the worst part of me,
You make my sides ache.
From day 1 to day 6,000,
I pray for you to leave my body.
Every morning you stay.
You have sent me away
For hundreds of days.
I thought I would stay,
Never to see the light of day.
You make me cry and scream,
Begging to take away my pain.
My words fall on your deaf ears,
Reminding me to be grateful.
If I am truly the lucky one,
Why do you haunt me?
On the hard days,
You teach me to love.
On the good days,
You show me mercy.
You have taught me to breath
When I feel the prick.
When I can’t do it,
You show me the reason why.
I shall leave you with this:
Please leave me alone.
But I know if you do,
I shall truly die.
We have been one for 20 years,
What are a few more?
