You Left Selfishly

Grief

Waiting so patiently, I would wait forever.
You definitely took your time, today.
Actually you never came, but my mind was clear.
Nothing had happened to you I didn’t fear.
But you were ages and you were hardly ever late.
But I stayed, a promise to you to wait.
Hours went by and I was still out there.
You were just telling me yesterday that we were a good pair.
You were a no show today, so I wandered back alone.
I wondered where were you if you were not home?
Tears may fall because you were someone to me.
And you made me believe I was someone to you.
It doesn’t matter about the world you said it’s just us two.
So when you killed yourself, you also killed me.
I still wait patiently next to our now fallen tree.
And I uncontrollably kicked the brown rotten ground.
Once again I walk home without you around.
Thoughts of us now with bloodshot eyes and dirty nails,
All those people in black, standing up to tell some of your tales.
I sat there cold, anger, pain and denial swarming in my head.
I want to be just like you, cold, worthless and dead.
But that is how I felt that minute, the minute you went away,
Oh but I am going to feel like that every minute of every day.
Tears pour down my face, rich blood red.
You left my heart rusted and heavy just like lead.
I face every single day that you left me with why?
I don’t understand you never ever told me that you wanted to die.
I stand where I last saw you laugh, where I last touched you.
Memories of our past, I stabbed at my wrist to find the pain I knew.
This blood I don’t recognise, for it is not mine any more.
I cry this blood for you, it is yours too as it drips to the floor.
Why did you leave me? Why didn’t you at least say good-bye?
You left me in this empty world with nothing to do but cry.

| A masterpiece. Tears fell to cold ground as I read this. It is a shame that this poem had to come about through tragedy, and I'm always here for you. Great Poem! A true talent. |

wow I'm in awe if only people who commit suicide would realize people care. This was amazing. I love the brutal imagery you convey in this poem.

WOW THIS TOUCHED ME. I COULD SAY THIS IS SELFISHLY.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY LEAVE ? MAYBE ONE DAY YOU GUYS CAN MET AGAIN. JUST THINK ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES MAYBE THEY DIDN'T SAY NOTHING CAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THEM BY THAT. |
