JEM

I scrolled through my phone to find you name

But it wasn’t there at all.

 

Then I remembered someone else has your number

That I learned when I called it last year

To wish you a blessing on the day of your birth

But wishes can’t help you, however sincere

 

You’re gone from this realm, fates pulled us apart

I know that life can be hard

But why did you choose to leave me behind?

Didn’t you think how those you left would be scarred?

 

I miss you so often, but I rarely express

To anyone how I feel since you left

To painful to share, to much risk of regret

Much lessor things have relationships cleft

 

I feel like a part of me died with you,

The rope that you used is suffocating me too.

How can I hold on, knowing you let go?

Each day that goes by, I miss you anew.

 

As your life was cut short, by fate and your choice

So too this poem shall no more have its voice
