Please Don’t Run Away
Please don’t run away. I can love you from a distance.
With communication and persistence
We can make these miles seem less distant.
I promise I’ll be consistent, dedicated with pure commitment.
I’ll cater to you, no resistance, with every letter that’s written.
Please don’t run away
With time we can endure,
Practice patience so problems get solved.
I’m not reluctant at all. Will you answer me when I call?
I still have your pictures on my wall.
It’s just a reminder of distant memories. When I’m slacking,
You give me passion, a call to action, for instant energy.
Please don’t run away.
I wanted you to stay committed
To me in prison, is that selfish?
Do you blame me if I couldn’t help it?
When we were deeply in love
I knew you felt it. I did too,
That’s why it’s hard for me to shelf it.
My Brother’s Memory Keeper
My brother got murdered in 2014. We were best friends and it rocked me the core. I remember I was in county jail at the time facing 25 years for this case. My son’s mom did a video visit for me and as soon as she showed up on the Kiosk I knew something bad had happened. She had tears running down her face and her eyes were red. I immediately associated that look with my brother. I don’t know how it entered my mind but it just happened on my mental and before I could ask what was wrong she said, “Your brother got shot.” I was shocked hearing it out loud and I must have just spaced out for a few seconds, because she started calling my name real loud. We went through a little Q&A about what happened and I had to end the visit early so I could go to my bunk and cry. I cried and cried until my pillow case was soaked on both sides. Then I went to sleep. I woke up in the morning and cried some more. We were best friends and it rocked me the core.
