Tears
I was seven pounds and six ounces
when you first Saw Me.
you Looked at Me with no soul.
I thought you Loved Me.
you Created Me.
I am half of you.
you're supposed to Care for Me
Provide for Me
Spend time with Me
and, you,
JUST,
left me...
you Walked out of the house
and you never came back.
I still Wonder why
You left.
I wish I said goodbye,
I wish you said goodbye.
the last thing you said was,
“I don’t want you…
(the door closes.)
to Miss me.”
(you whispered.)
you Left in the red Toyota
I Wonder was the road uneven?
was it slippery?
you were only Traveling a mile or two
why weren't you Driving?
was he drunk?
whose fault was it?
why you?
you Left everyday,
but always came back.
you didn’t say bye
or I love you
you just Left
because you thought,
you would come back.
this day was different.
that day was quiet, eerie.
Mom was Crying.
she Told us all to Sit down.
she had to go down to the morgue
and Identify the body.
that morning was the last morning
I saw You.
I miss you
how come he Survived but,
you didn’t?
—Tears
