Today is the worst day.
I knew it would be.
My last goodbye to you
Was yesterday
And I look back
To see what I missed
A call, a text, a post
Should I have
Called you, texted, replied?
You left, you're gone.
What should I think?
How did you feel?
We need to talk!
I want to say
"I love you",
and touch you, don't leave
me alone.
It's over.
Quiet.
Deafening.
The worst day;
I can't believe it.
-
Today is the worst day.
I knew it would be.
I'll say goodbye to you,
Tomorrow, and
All I will see
Are things that I miss
A smile, a voice, a hug
Instead of
Sadness, flowers, graveside.
You're gone, I'm left
How can I think?
How should I feel?
I cannot talk.
Your friends all say
they loved you.
They salute, and leave
you alone.
It's over.
Calm.
Exhausting.
The worst day;
I can't sustain it
-
Today is the worst day.
I knew it would be.
I said goodbye to you
But tomorow
I will be left
With things that I miss
Your warmth, your love, your laugh
Replaced by
The shock, the ache, my tears
Please leave, be gone.
I need to think,
I need to feel.
I want to talk.
My friends all say
"We love you"
And hug me, and leave.
I'm alone.
It's over.
Peace.
Surety.
The worst day?
I'm going to make it.
