Poem 9 from my chapbook "As Glamorous as a Kidney"
Although our relationship has ended
And feelings still resonate within
Me I have to let go somehow.
{
This is nothing new for me.
But none the less it is never easy.
{
Call it knowing what I need to
Make-up for.
If I wasn’t so damned focused on
My work and past experience I’m
Almost sure we would have made it
Further.
If I had actually bought you flowers
And more gifts from time to time it
Would have helped with showing how
Much I care and appreciate the time
You had given me.
If I knew how to go out more,
Better memories would be in our
Pockets.
If we took more showers together it
Might have added a few extra days.
If I wasn’t such a stubborn asshole
Who doesn’t change to save his life
I’m nearly positive to say our lives
Would still be as a pair instead of
Single cards in a deck of suits
And numbers.
{
Instead of you coming over and
Falling asleep in the room tonight
You are elsewhere.
While I sit in the spot looking for
An exit, a proper goodbye.
{
I’ll end this with an invisible kiss.
A silent goodnight.
One more farewell poem
