Would you ever poem

Please Don’t Ever Leave Me

If my best friend would ever leave me
to live life without her by my side
I would go through the seven stages of grief
Denial; I would taste a strawberry milkshake
And begin to dial your number to tell you all about it.
Pain; I would listen to Gun N’ Roses and cry until
My cheeks turn to sand.
Anger; I would take each page of her diary
And put them up all over our small town.
You always said you could die from embarrassment
So here you are!
I would take your favorite $600 black leather jacket
And put invisible ink on it saying “HOW DARE YOU”
That’ll be a nice surprise when you’re slow dancing
with HIM at the school dance on Friday.
I would sneak into your house at night and cut your hair
boyish short like the nightmare you told me about
last summer and I would dye your eyebrows black as your
$1500 Gucci purse. Oh and speaking of; I would cut that up
and put it on a poster and replace the Chinese painting
I gave you three years ago with that!
I remember when you called me to tell me about that purse.
I laughed and told you I hope it would be worth it!
Was it?
Depression; I would go through the motions everyday and laugh
With tears in my eyes. Tears only you can see. I would get up
10 min. before I have to leave in the morning because I just
Don’t care about ANYTHING.
Move forward; I would smile at our memories as I miss you
In my daily life. I would go grocery shopping when I knew you
Were working just to see if you had tears between your eyes.
Just to see if you were hurting at all.
Acceptance; I would smile and laugh and live life and know
That as the years go by, you are always in my heart.
But would you ever make me go through all that?
I beg you not to.
