poem “ever leave me”, a love poem about loving someone so much that you would want to hold them until every part of their body died so you could be with them until the end, By Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers

ever leave me
Janet Kuypers
6/24/15
if death ever consumed you
if your soul were ever to leave
if there was something out there
insidious enough, evil enough
to snuff you from this earth
and force us to go on without you
well, what would I do
as you departed, I would hold you
until your heart stopped beating
and then I would hold you tighter
until your brain no longer functioned
because I would want
your thinking mind to know
that I would hold you fiercely
and never let you go
