Poetry I thought we could fix it,
Just maybe we could,
But after that day,
I knew we never would,
You said you’d be my friend,
Forever and a day.
But then you left me stranded,
Now you’re so far away,
I’d opened up so much to you,
Shared so much sorrow and pain,
How could you just abandon me?
And leave me with this strain,
Things happened so fast,
In the blink of an eye,
Now you’re gone,
And I must try,
To figure out why you left,
You say it was because of me,
You said I have an attitude,
But I really just can’t see,
How you have the right to tell me that,
To say I didn’t care,
Because I loved you and tried so hard,
To show you I was there,
I also don’t know why you say,
That you feel so “free”,
You say it’s because I’m finally gone,
But tell me; how can that be?
I loved with all,
Of my heart and mind,
I gave so freely,
I hoped we could find,
A way to be friends,
A way to forgive,
What you’ve done to my life,
But I’ll just have to live,
With this emptiness here,
In the bottom of my heart,
And I know that feeling,
Will never part,
I just want you to know,
That I’ve forgiven you,
And if you ever need to talk,
You know what to do,
Just come to me,
I’ll always be here,
No matter how far away you are,
My presence will be near.
