You... you can see me go
Maybe you refuse it to know
You're sure to have me although...
You... only you
Let take a bow
From people who admire portrait of you
I'm real; don't see me as a fan now
I still love you, but I won't somehow

Believe... I just leave
I'm sorry but I can't be by your side
It ain't 'bout our pride
This is feeling... you have denied.


I ain't number anymore
On your facebook or Instagram
I am real this is what I am
But you break this as it was before

Don't post on twitter
Saying sorry, it could be better
Doncha know for real?
How you could hurt... how I did feel

Don't you see it's not a magazine?
Where I just let you in
One day beauty goes away as the winds blow
And you
Could only know

Edgar, this poem holds so much feeling, and hurt, and love. All of it comes through to the reader loud and clear. Some people simply do not understand the depths of true love and it hurts to leave them as much as it hurts to stay. A beautiful and strong poem.
