Don'T Leave Me My Friend Poem by John Onyeme

How can this be my friend,
That our friendship has end?
How can this be true,
When all I know is you?

How can you leave my heart,
To tear my whole being apart?
How can you imprison me with your absence
And starve me of your presence?

How long would I live
To tell the tale, you did leave?
Where would I get the strength
To walk in the pain of this length?

Oh dearest, please don't go away
Words ain't enough to say
How much you'll kill me so
If I see you truly would go

Forgive me, I have hurt you,
Forgive me, I did hurt you
Forgive me if I had been so bad
To have made you gone so sad
Do not leave me at this deadly end
I beg of you my dear friend
