Please, Don't Leave Me - (Song/Poem Attempt #50)

I was broken for the longest time
My sins were my master
My life seemed worth less than nothing
There was nothing and no one to live for

I was ashamed of everything I was
If you hadn't stopped me, I would've taken my life multiple times
When I found you, my life was given meaning
There was and is nothing that compares to the love you give me

But still, I let my past get to me
No matter how hard I try, I cannot be perfection
Despite my failings, you give me another chance
You let me pick myself up and make up for what I've done

Please, don't leave me, don't give up on me, don't stop loving me
Please, don't leave me, don't give up on me, don't stop loving me
Because I honestly and truly dedicate my existence to loving you

No one can replace you
No one loves me as much as you
No one does as much for me as you do
It would be better for me to stop existing than be without you

I know I can be a hypocrite
I know I can be slow
I know I can be weak
Grant me another chance so you can stay with me

Let me pay the price for what I've done
Let me suffer the worst agonies for your sake
Purify me through fire to make me like you
Let me do all these things so I never lose you

Please, don't leave me, don't give up on me, don't stop loving me
Please, don't leave me, don't give up on me, don't stop loving me
Because I honestly and truly dedicate my existence to loving you

Please, don't leave me, don't give up on me, don't stop loving me
Please, don't leave me, don't give up on me, don't stop loving me
Because I honestly and truly dedicate my existence to loving you

My soul is torn apart, infected then purified by your mercy
Over and over again
I begin to lose hope
But then I remember your love for me
And I pick myself up, smile, and embrace a new day

Because I know that you'll always be with me
I know that you'll never abandon me
As long as I stay close to you, I never lack anything
Because you are my everything and nothing is good without you

This song/poem is loosely inspired by Never say Never by The Fray.
