Question

Don't Go

By Maude E.

You were a fresh breath of air,
Welcomed on a chilly morn.
Your warmth and light radiated,
And in me, new energy was being born.

You stayed a while, and lingered so,
Time together was a welcome reprieve.
I couldn't get enough of you,
It killed me to think that you'd leave.

You're becoming distant—you're changing,
Things aren't what they were then.
Stay for just a while longer—I need you,
And if not, promise you'll come back again.

Answer 2

I believe the first portion poem is about a person becoming close with another special person, perhaps a friendship or potential love interest.

Lines such as these showcase that this is likely to be true:

“I couldn’t get enough of you”

“Your warmth and light radiated”

“Time together was a welcome reprieve”


The second portion of the poem however focuses on this special person drifting away and the feeling of loss that comes with this shift.

Lines such as these showcase that this is likely to be true:

“Stay for just a little while longer—I need you”

“Things aren’t what they were then”

“You’re becoming distant—you’re changing”

All in all this poem is about a person (possibly the author) becoming close with a special person and then dealing with the longing and forlorn emotions they are experiencing as they hope for this specific person to come back to them.
