Hi everybody!!!! Here is that poem that I promised. I have already made a few tweaks to it (and I think it feels a little unfinished, but that is just my opinion). Here you go…
Losing You
Things were going as well
As they could go, but then you
Vanished like that. I did not want to dwell
On the past, but I had no clue
What you were doing to me.
You went ahead and threw
Me away like I meant nothing. We are free
From the burdens of it all and
You got what you wanted. Everything felt achy
And unreal. It was like every strand
Was coming undone. What we had
Slipped through our fingers like sand.
I did not know it would be this bad.
We both knew that this would take place.
I cannot sit here and be sad.
I will not forget your face
No matter how much I try to let it fade.
There is nothing between us but space.
I will try to be happy as I bade
You and everything we had goodbye.
I still would never trade
Those memories away. I have to try
To move on and be a better person.
I cannot continue to ask why
You went away. You had to run
Away for whatever reason.
You told me to never stop chasing the sun.
You have left me with a leaden
And heavy heart. The worry
That I was losing you left me broken
And hopeless. I am sorry
For whatever we did to each other.
I could not plea
With you anymore. The answer
Was not there. You were gone.
Everything became a blur.
You told me to move on
Without you and I am finally
Doing that. I got
That part down. I want you here badly
But you do not and will not
Hold that key.
Elena,
This is a beautiful but such a sad piece.
Be strong!!
Love you,
M
