Stay

Refraining

from what compels my soul

is draining

containing my feelings

to maintain this friendship

has taken its toll

tangling me in knots

dangling me so close

to what I want

but can not have

is fucking torturous

I know I'm at fault

because I willingly wait

cannot walk away

from this extraordinary

purgatory I accidentally created

it's amazing I've never displayed

this level of patience
