The Missing Goodbye

The crowd was once you and me
Sitting across while procrastinating
It used to be two seats taken
Now I’m only taking one
Because forever you are gone

I could have married the miles
And I could have purged the silence
But how could I now when you’re 6 feet under?
I’d roam the world to look for you
But now is another dimension you have pursued

I broke your heart first
Tears and blood you dripped
I carried on without you
They say now there’s no longer pain
How will I ever stop the rain?

Everywhere is now a blur since its you without
Im counting on tomorrows that you’re still missing
I failed to realize the inevitable
While you were living I was your pain
Now I’ll carry it with me even when I’m against the grain.

Therese Bacha Date: 11/29/2018 6:00:00 AM Hi Yvette, I read your poem, of course its sad very, if it is a true story. Sometimes i think, why do we always have to be in pain, life is so difficult to live it with and without someone in our lives. But if it is the wrong person, its hard to take it. I think you should not feel guilty, because maybe it was meant to not to be to be together. Find a way to balance your life. If this poem is about you. Terry xoxo Login to Reply
