Do Not Call Them Back

Do not call them back,
After they leave,
Because if you do,
And they come back
That makes it two of you
Not in love with you.

Misery will devour you
Like the loneliness
you shall breathe in
on the bed,
sleeping together.

Do not call them back,
After they leave.
It is the fire
within you,
that keeps you going,
Not the false warmth
of their embrace.

Do not be a broken star
that could've
lighted up the sky,
But went home
to the darkness
that engulfed it instead.

Do not call them back,
After they leave.
Because,
Loving another,
Is an option
But to not love oneself
Is folly.
