I want you to remember me forever as I am right now
not how I will likely be tomorrow
if only this moment you will concede to allow
you could give yourself a chance to remember my love
without pity or sorrow
an unlikely linking of happiness and horror
you would be quick to verbalize and argue
even though I've forced your hand to admit as of now
we are done with and through
it would be pointless to banter with such love filled
and hate less hearts on the rising issue
but I hold no other option to guide me into what it is
I should or should not do
I've made my decision so now
please leave me before my brittle life finds
the death it needs to make me leave you............
