Last, I saw You
Last. I saw you laughing with a big, red, cup by the fire.
Last. I saw you dancing with yourself, as if you'd never tire.
Last. I saw you puking on the curb,
I pulled away, you were so absurd.
Every eye was on us, waiting for our kiss,
everybody wanted what you'd forever miss.
Last. I saw you, your eyes weren't on me
I slept in the sand, wailing sorrow out to sea.
Last, I saw you my love.
Now it's morning, you're not around.
Last, I saw you my love.
I knew your burdens, your secrets, too,
low voices say the tracks confronted you.
What does it take for man to see the depth of his soul
Is his destiny?
Disorderly, broken, nobody knows
You found no peace in the life you stole.
Last. I saw you my love.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Oh my. Beautifully written but so very sad.
Sad. 😢😭
Your words convey a raw and introspective portrayal of love, loss, and the complexities of the human soul, thank you for sharing this heartfelt and thought-provoking poem.
"Last. I saw you, your eyes weren't on me I slept in the sand, wailing sorrow out to sea." These lines hit me so hard, especially wailing sorrow out to sea 😭😭😭😭 Loved your poem!
Damn, ROCK! This is one powerful, heartbreaking and beautiful poem!
The last part is good
The last part is what I can really relate to.
Oof. This one has left me at a loss for words.
After a relationship has ended, memories and grief will linger in our hearts forever.
Very passionate, Rock.
Interestingly written Feeling a bit sad about your that one 😕 but it's okay, burdens and responsibilities are the part of life
Flow in the poem inspired me.
