The Leaky Pen

Coralville Public Library's Teen Zine

Questioning by Dakota

I question who I am everyday,
Wondering about my mistakes...
What have I done wrong today?
What have I done wrong for you?

How long will you stay?
How long until you realize
You deserve more? Better?

I don't know what I would do without you
You're the fire in my heart that
Banishes the shadows to the corners.
I hate being away from you...
God! What love does...

But I know the day will come,
When you will say good-bye,
And I will go,
Unable to even ask why...
