This poem is not mine, its just somethin that need sharing.it a piece called "Road Trip"by Shaun R Collins.

IF U WERE TO LEAVE

if u were to leave,i'd be incomplete,like a shoe with no soul,like night without day,it just wouldnt be right,like the body without it's soul.u're not the reason i breathe,hell,that would make u God,which simply wouldnt be true,but i'll tell u one thing,with every breath i take,i'm glad i can be with u.as bare as the sands of the sahara,or as dull as the colour grey,that's exactly jow it would be inside me,if ever u went away.dont take this as a plead for pitty,that simply wouldnt be fair,coz…See More
