The Tragedy of Losing Him

The Tragedy of Losing Him

A Poem by Kat-Marie Berti

The tragedy of losing him was still fresh in my mind

Crying was not enough, I wanted to endure more

Don’t talk to me; my vow of silence is not complete

Until my man comes back to me, no more will I speak

He has jumped aboard of a magic flying ship

Sailed off to a land where anything is possible

Where gold and rubies are a feast for the eyes

And lamps with genies and tortured prince’s exist

He’s disguised as a pirate, “Argh, Sleany that’d be me”

With an eye strap and parrot stationed on his shoulder

The Legend of the Seven Seas he has become

And people fear him to the edges of this world

This pirate was once a man not much taller than me

When he smiled he could brighten up any room

I loved him, he loved me, or so we believed

Until he walked away, our love so short-lived

The plans that we had, having babies and more

Was flushed down the drain, easily given up on

We pretended everything was fine, we would forget

But forget never came, as the years passed by

More vivid the memories that visited every night

The love-making, the kisses, the talks we’d had

It all rushed back, leaving me bruised inside

It hurt to remember, a constant throbbing head-ache

Knowing I have lost you, had you, but let you go

Is more terrible than anything I have ever felt

If I have to live my life alone for the rest of my time

While you are living yours along with someone else

Then I don’t want to live, let me die in peace

And all your troubles will finally be over with
