When I'm Gone

in #poetry7 years ago


It hit you like a sucker punch
With eyes wide open
Like the door I walked out of
Leaving your heart broken
Emotions cast about
Useless as wasted tokens
For the fair has ended
And I’m tired of pretending
So cash in your sentiments
There’s no saving for a rainy day
I would prefer when I’m gone
Not to even remember your face

Sort:  

Relationships end, feeling like we’ve been gut-punched. You captured the sentiments well. And, had the last word at the end…

Sometimes the last word is all we have. Thank you.
