A reverse poem
Turn Around by Jessica Wheeler
Reverse Poem writing prompt entry

 
Walk away.

For I could never 

Change my ways;

I swear to you, I'll

Let you down, again

And I will never  

Care enough to
turn around
 
Should you choose to leave, but
 
With nothing

More to give


Still, I have so much
 
That’s broken

In my heart

I need to let you

Go.

I beg you, please don't

Stay.
