Love Me or Leave Me Alone

By: Sunday B. Fakus

When I first met you
Your heart was bright-red as a scarlet
Painful memories of the past
Prevented the glory of the future

I washed you clean from filthy life
And made your heart as white as snow
You promised not to leave for life
But you did not keep your promise

When you left and returned to me
Your mind was as red as crimson
Guilty conscience no man could cure
Has ruined you beyond repair

I cured you of your blemish again
And your mind became as white as wool
I raised you up from grass to grace
That you may have a reason to live

In spite of all that I have done
You seem to constantly walk away
You said you surely still love me
That you’ll come back to me

But now I have had enough of that
Of hide and seek, love on the run
Love me or leave me alone
That I may move on with my life
