Why you ghostin?

Talk to me
chu got up yer sleeve?
Talk to me
Why did you leave?

Say something
You know that I'm home
Say something
Don't leave me alone

Jus nursin my tea
thoughts of you in my head
Sittin crossed legged
Indian style, on my bed

Layin back on the pillow
wish it was your chest
Yeah, that "S" is for Super
We know what you do best

You were the peace
that silenced my tears
You were the beast
which chased off my fears

Two years now, yer gone
with nuthin to say
How you jus dip
and leave me this way?

I thought we were friends
Shit, I kept you close
You are the one
I dreamed of the most

What the f*ck, man?

Say something
You know that I'm home
Say something
Don't leave me alone

Talk to me, bruh
chu got up yer sleeve?
Talk to me, Boo
Why did you leave?

I don't understand
What the hell is this crap
You vanish & leave, like:
"Peace b*tch, it's a wrap"

Like, I can't even fathom
What got into you
When I told you my past
The shit I been through

I trusted you, bruh
My heart open, exposed
Like a surgeon, you left
The wound sat unclosed

I can't innerstand
How you jus walk away
What are you thinkin?
Have you nothing to say?

Talk to me, love
chu got up yer sleeve?
Say somethin, Boo
Why did you leave?

Talk to me, please
You know that I'm home
Say something, just....

Don't leave me alone

Nice, though not au fait with the southern language, there are some particularly nice stanza's floating around in this piece. Just a little advice here, please read the rules of poetry, especially regarding flooding.
