When you leave, Don't come back to me



Don't come back to me

The version of me I was with you existed only for you.

Although It was not another me for I will always be the same me.

The alterations I allowed with in me was only so that I could stitch you into the fabric of me.

But when you leave, don't come back to me because the version of me that existed for you no longer exists in me.

I have unraveled the you within me, and you will not find the same me that you once knew

As pieces of you no longer exist in me.

About this poem

The poem is about what happens to us as individuals when we allow new people into our lives but also how when these people decide to leave they cannot come back and expect to find the same person they once knew.
