Y O U
It’s always you
You’re my alarmclock
If it weren’t for you
I’d never get out of bed
You’re my air
‘Cause I just can’t breathe without you
You’re my hobby
Because spending time with you never bores me
You’re my very own fire extinguisher
‘Cause you’re able to put out all my fires
It’s always been you
But then
One day
Suddenly
My alarm didn’t go off
Suddenly
I wasn’t breathing correctly
Suddenly
My hobby didn’t seem to call me anymore
And my fires became unbearable
I looked at you
And the U was gone
And the Y too
So all that’s left
Was O
And me
Thinking
And wondering
Just wondering
Wondering how I missed it

Woah, this got real deep real fast, and I wasn't expecting that. This is so well done! Way to go! I especially loved the letters in the poem and what they stood for.

Wow expresses so poetically in metaphor, happy love in the beginning then the dejection and missing. Superb poem indeed. Kudos.
