Poetry: Stop

by Hesty Lim

Stop!
That's the word you said to me..
You asked me to stop telling you that I love you..
You asked me to stop telling you that I need you..

Stop!
You asked me not to move on..
You asked me not to get closer to you..

Stop.. Stop.. Stop..
You said that word again..
You keep repeating..
Stop.. Stop.. and stop..
You said you just want me to go away..
For you, I am a bug that always bugging you around..

Stop, stop.. and stop..
Please..
Don't come close to me anymore..
For the words you said has been hurting me so much..

Stop..
Don't walk closer..
For I don't want you to see me crying..

Stop..
That's the word you said to me..

Stop..
Don't come close..
Don't stop me when I want to go..
For, you are the one who throws me away when I want to come close to you..
