One More Thing

Drop to my knees and I’m begging
Come back, don’t leave me
Do one more thing and I’ll disappear
I swear it, just wait and see
Just put your hands around my throat
Squeeze it as hard as you can
Don’t let go, don’t stop it
Clench until I am damned
I’ll close my eyes in silence, 
See nothing no more
I’ll gasp one more time
This is what I’m asking for
Please give me this
And I’ll walk away
You’ll never see me again
Not after this day

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
