You are gone.
My brain knows it.
My heart won't accept it.
Memories keep coming,
Each one stronger than the last.
Why you?
Why now?
Why so soon?
Why this way?
Why can no one answer me?
You are gone.
It doesn't feel like it.
Every step I take,
Every move I make,
Reminds me of you.
I keep seeing you
Coming around the corner.
I see your smile.
I feel your hug
But I know it's not there.
You are gone.
You fly with the wind.
You sing with the angels.
Your heart knows no sorrow.
Your soul holds no grief.
It is not for you
I weep.
It is for me
Learning to live
Without you.
It is for me,
Who keeps seeing you,
Who keeps hearing you,
Who can't forget for one minute
What you last said to me.
"Oh, not too good,"
Were the last words
I heard from you.
And the last words you heard from me
Were "I'm sorry."
What I meant was
"I love you!"
What I meant was
"Please don't go!"
But I couldn't say it.
I didn't want you to know
How much it pained me
To let you go.
I made myself hard,
Didn't let myself cry.
But inside I broke
When God called you
And you left before
I ever said
Goodbye.

A Collection of Poems
PoetryHello! This book is filled with my poems! I used to have them mixed with my short stories, but for organizations sake, I decided to split them into their own books. Enjoy! This is updated spontaneously, so don't expect regular posts.
