I am Gone

I am gone now.

But it sure did not make anything better.

Instead you are still throwing punches

Our walls are no longer intact

You shattered your trophy

And forced your failure upon yourself.

I am gone now.

Will I even get to say goodbye?

No.

You have been gone for quite some time,

Although you have not yet left.

But would I say goodbye if I had the chance?

Yes.

I would cling to you with all of myself

And my tears would stain your shirt

And be a reminder of all the times that we had

But do not have anymore.

I am gone now,

But I missed you before I was gone.

Even now you haunt my thoughts

And are the reason for my tears.

And now how can we resolve

When we are beyond each other’s reach?

And how can I breathe

When each effort for air is strangled by my hardened heart?

And how can I help you when I am gone?

And would you accept my help if I were there?

You were gone before

And you are still.

And now I am gone too.
