Without You

Going through all my many changes,
Even though you never realized,
The drama, horror, and victory
Is not the same without you.

I don't like to admit
How far apart we've become,
Or how long it's been
Since you've been by my side.
I can't help but wonder
What goes through your head
While I pretend
Everything is just fine;
But this attitude
Makes all the difference.

Not speaking to you
Is like loosing family.
Counting the days
Brings damage to my soul.
Maybe it's from
Your own mistakes,
Or my own faults,
But I know the silence is something
That's killing me.

I think about how
You entered my life,
And the impact you've made.
Whether good or bad,
I wouldn't be
So close to complete
Without You.

Maybe one of us
Took the wrong turn,
Or it's some
Last minute decision
To become different people.
And the symptoms from before
Were all signs of change.
Either way,
I'm not the same without you

The deep lines of your face
I'm beginning to forget,
But it hurts to look at you
And try to remember.
Even from far away
It brings tears to my eyes,
And I think,
"There goes a piece of my heart"

I hope you notice
The space in between,
And the ground
Bitter cold.
Whether you care or not,
I still need you to know
That I miss you.

So very true that maintaining relationships through life's changes is sometimes difficult. *Good luck in your future endeavors as you graduate! Nice write.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
