maybe this will work

I am no one without you.
which is a lie,
but a purposeful lie
to show you how I feel.
how can you abandon
someone
like me. no one does that.
well,
hardly ever, at least
not since early
spring.
perhaps my desperation
and lack of
self esteem will
win you back.
my begging, my showing
up on bended
knee pleading my case,
telling you how much I've
changed, my
cards and letters,
the flowers sent,
chocolates, I know you love
chocolate,
the way I carved our names
on a tree.
surely we can work this out.
if you'd just say
something, anything,
pick up the phone, drop
the restraining order,
meet me for a cup
of green tea. I am no one
without you.
