Without You

I wrote this poem after having dreams about people I used to know

You used to know me; do you remember who I am?

Years ago, we used to be friends

 

I remember running together in the fields at recess

Since the time I knew you, my mind body and soul have only regressed

 

I don’t have many regrets, but I wish I still knew you

You just meant so much to me

 

Running around in the park, hanging out after school

Being there for each other, everything was cool

 

I wish the path I took you could walk down too

Not so you could experience my pain, but so I could be with you

 

There were others, just like you

People who I used to know

Now they are faded memories

 

I’m sorry I switched schools

I’m sorry I was such a fool

Sorry that even in my own depression

I lost contact with you through my transgressions

I was gone for so many years that I'm sure you'd forgotten about me

 

No one was there for me when I was hospitalized

Watching the years pass by, calling out for you with no reply

 

But you see, I didn’t want you to get involved

With my problems which I’ve failed to solve

 

Time makes me forget the pain I've felt

But it also made me forget the people I lived for

It’s only a matter of time

Before my rhymes turn to tears

 

And faded memories call out about distant people in my dreams

People I used to call my best friends

 

You don’t know how much you meant to me

You were the friendly person I always wanted to see

 

I loved all of you like family

There’s nothing left for me

No shred of you to hold onto

I don’t even know you anymore

 

Because now your gone

And I have to move on

Without you

Author's Note

I very seldom reply to reviews, but I promise I read EVERY single one. I look forward to my next review, because it helps me learn. Even if it's just one word, I promise, I will be ecstatic to have the chance to hear what you have to say. Whenever you write something about my poems, or the themes of my poems, or criticize me it is not in vain. I will listen, learn and be thankful.
