Stay

Missing image
Please don't stop loving me
the way that you do
You have made all of
my dreams come true

It seems like you are trying
to go your own way
I have to figure out
how I can make you stay

I don't want to know
via second hand news
that my love is the chain
wrapped around you like a noose

Oh daddy cries our children
they don't want you to leave
you make loving fun for us
but from me you need a reprieve

I know we're never going back again
the songbird has lost its voice
You're leaving me a gold dust woman
I'm not getting any choice

    great poem. i really like the rhyme scheme and how you worked all the songtitles in there. "that my love is the chain
    wrapped around you like a noose" those lines are incredible. very vivid and powerful. nice work.

    very well written. This must've been a hard poem to write, under the constraints of the contest. good job and good luck.

    This is such a sad poem. I must be honest, that I know hardly anything of Fleetwood Mac, much less song titles, but you have done a great job of using them all in your piece. great entry!

    Mind, I do like those last two lines I think they're brilliant. Another good piece, can't seem to see what the song titles are though.

    Good luck
