Khadeejeh Roberts Poet Prose Poetry

You Are = You'Re

You're leaving me for  no reason.
 You're going away, and never coming back.
 You're under stress with things on your mind.
You're on the phone, while I have no one to talk to.
 You're out, while I'm cooped up in this crazy house.
You're packing, while I'm watching you go.
 You're not saying a word, while I have lots to say.
 You're out the door, while I can't move.
  You're on that flight, as I watch you go through the window.
 You're gone, while I cry every night.
You're getting engaged, while nothing's working for me.
  You're in another world, while I'm back here fighting.
  You're getting married, while I think about what we used to have.
You're having a baby, while I cry like one.
 You're growing old with the love of your life, while I just died.
